Syntax

StrAdd( inout sString : string,
        in    sAppend : string,
        in    nCount  : number optional );

Parameter	Description
sString	Source string. This parameter will contain the concatenated string after the StrAdd operation. The specified data (sAppend) will be appended at the first occurrence of a 0 byte in sString (regardless of possible binary data). If you want to add the data at the end of a binary body use BinAdd instead.
sAppend	String or binary data to append.
nCount	Number of bytes to append (optional). Omit this parameter to append all available data.

Example

dcltrans
transaction TWeb
  var
    sData : string;
  begin

    sData := "Hugo";
    BinAdd(sData, "\h00");
    BinAdd(sData, "John");
    BinAdd(sData, "\h00");
    writedata(bin(sData));
    writedata(sData);
    StrAdd(sData, "_Smith");
    writedata(bin(sData));
     
end TWeb;
