concat

Type String

ConCat
ConCat(Field1,Field2,....,FieldN)
ConCat(texststring1,texststring2,....,texstringN)

The Concat function combines two or more separate text values into one. Concat performs the same function as Jointext, but is simpler to use.

Concat - short for concatenation - joins two or more strings together into a single string.

As with Jointext, leading spaces in strings are retained, but trailing spaces are truncated.

Parameters

Any number of fields or strings. Fields will automatically be converted to correctly formatted strings by ConCat, so you can create a string from any DataEase fields this way.

If you want to input a fixed value this value need to be quoted "my string".

Returns/Result

Text String up to 255 characters long.
Examples

Example 1

Concat("My ", "name", " is", " Dave")

Result: My name is Dave

Example 2

Concat("The time is: ",current time," and the Date is: ", current date)

Result: (Now!): The time is: 20:44:03 and the Date is: 10/12/2012
