CONCAT_A

NOTE

CONCAT_A is a special version of CONCAT. It is used with functions that are async, ie that don't return a value immediately. CONCAT_A will wait for the async function to return a value before concatenating it with other strings. For example, using the return value from the SEQNUM function will require a CONCAT_A function to ensure the value is returned before concatenating it with other strings. If you use CONCAT instead of CONCAT_A with an async function, the result will print 'promise' instead of the actual value.

Combines two or more text strings into one string.

Syntax​

CONCAT_A(text1, text2, ...)

Arguments​

  • text1, text2, ...: Text strings to join together.

Example​

CONCAT_A("Any-", SEQNUM('INVOICE')) → Returns "Any-1" for the first record, "Any-2" for the second record, and so on.
