String Equates

[Josef Lindinger]

Hi,

i am searching for documentation abaout predefined string equates as shown in Gazette 1/9 (like $TAB, $NUL, ...)

Why isn´t it possible to combine two string equates like:
$VAR1 = "TEST1"
$VAR2 = "TEST2"
$VAR4 = $VAR1 & $VAR2
The compiler tells me "String constant expected"
The Help-File says this can be done...

Thank You!

It does? The PB/DLL Help File that I have says this in the section called "String Equates":

Unlike numeric equates, you can not concatenate string expressions together.

Oh, shame on me
I just reread the section again, you´re right, i only saw the example last time, but not the text above...
Sorry for that!
