The Append String routine appends a source string to the end of a destination string. Format STR$APPEND destination-string ,source-string
1 – Returns
OpenVMS usage:cond_value type: longword (unsigned) access: write only mechanism: by value
2 – Arguments
destination-string OpenVMS usage:char_string type: character string access: write only mechanism: by descriptor Destination string to which STR$APPEND appends the source string. The destination-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the destination string. This destination string must be dynamic or varying length. The maximum length of the destination string for a 32-bit descriptor is 2**16-1, or 65,535, bytes. On Alpha systems, the maximum length of the destination string for all 64-bit descriptor classes, except varying-length strings, is 2**64-1 bytes. The maximum length of a varying-length string is 2**16-1 for both 32-bit and 64-bit descriptors. source-string OpenVMS usage:char_string type: character string access: read only mechanism: by descriptor Source string that STR$APPEND appends to the end of the destination string. The source-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to this source string.
