Built-in functions may not be combined with arithmetic expressions.
Each of the built-in functions (&CONCAT, and &SUBSTR) is described separately. &CONCAT &DATATYPE, &LENGTH, Use the &CONCAT function to concatenate two or more tokens and assign
the rescrlt to a variable symbol. The format of the &CONCAT function is:
r I &variable = &CONCAT tokl [tok2 ••• [tokn]] L- &variable is the variable symbol whose value is determined by the function.
tokl [tok2 •.• [tokn]1
specifies the tokens that are to be concatenated into a
single token; for example:
&A = **
&B = &CONCAT XX &A 45 &TYPE &B
results in the printed line: XX**45 If the concatenated token is longer than eight characters, the data is
left-justified and truncated on the right. Section 5. EXEC Control Statements 291
