Ü CAT (Concatenate Two
Strings)
·
The CAT operation
concatenates the string specified in factor 2 to the end of the string
specified in factor- 1 and places it in the result field.
·
Factor-2 must contain a
string, and may contain the number of blanks to be inserted between the
concatenated strings.
·
A ‘P’ operation extender
indicates that the result field should be padded on the right with blanks after
the concatenation occurs if the result field is longer than the result of the
operation. If padding is not specified, only the leftmost part of the field is
affected.
