Figure 32–50. $concat
| COMPILETIME STRING PROCEDURE $concat (STRING r,s; OPTIONAL POINTER($area) area); |
The PROCEDURE $concat performs the operation specified by the MAINSAIL STRING concatenation operator, &; i.e.:
$concat(r,s) = r & s
area is the destination area for the resulting STRING if new STRING text is generated; see Section 29.4. $concat needs to be used instead of & only if area is specified.
