string operators

Operators that perform operations on character strings. 4GL string operators are: concatenation ( , ) and subscripting ( [] ). Precedence for string operators is: (highest) subscripting; (lowest) concatenation. In addition, the 4GL built-in operator CLIPPED performs truncation of trailing spaces.
