+ Concatenation
Syntax
Result as C = Operand1 as C + Operand2 as C
Result as C = Operand1 as D + Operand2 as C
Result as C = Operand1 as Y + Operand2 as C
Result as C = Operand1 as N + Operand2 as C
Arguments
- Operand1Character Date Shortime Numeric
A character, date, or numeric value.
- Operand2
A character value or blank string ("").
Description
This operator concatenates (combines) two character strings into a single new character string. Put another way, The concatenation operator appends Operand2 (a character value) to Operand1. If Operand1 is not a character value, it is automatically converted to a character value before the concatenation operation. In the resulting character string, the entire value stored in the first field is positioned before the value from the second field.
Examples:
dim s as C dim dd as D dd = {1/31/03} s = dd + "" ? s = "01/31/2003" dim nn as N nn = 12 s = nn + "" ? s = "12" dim cc as C cc = "word1" s = cc + "word2" ? s = "word1word2" dim firstname as c = "Beverly " dim lastname as c = "Brine " ? firstname + lastname = "Beverly Brine "
