Examples
| Expression | Result | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 12 + " kilometers" | "12 kilometers" | String |
| "This statement is " + TRUE + "." | "This statement is true." | String |
| "I was born on " + Me.birthDateAndTime + "." | "I was born on Tue Dec 01 23:00:45 CET 1970." | String |
| ( UPPERCASE "hello" ) + ( LOWERCASE " WORLD" ) | "HELLO world" | String |
| UPPERCASE( "hello" ) + LOWERCASE( " WORLD" ) | "HELLO WORLD" | String |
Suppose Person.FirstName = "Carl" Person.LastName = then Person.FirstName + Person.LastName | ? (UNKNOWN) | String |
Note the correct use of parenthesis in combination with concatenation, see UPPERCASE and LOWERCASE syntax.
There exists a STR_CONCAT ( string , string ) function in the expression language. As it can only concatenate two strings, and is much longer in typing, we advise to use above way for concatenating strings.
