Missing BUILD$() functionality (SYNTAX ERROR)

[Andreas Kage]

Hi,

I tried the new function BUILD$() in a few commands and received a syntax error:

$string_test = BUILD$("abc",DEF")

and

x$ = REMOVE$(BUILD$("abc","DEF"), ANY BUILD$("a",D"))

in both commands the "+" works nicely.

First you cannot use a statement or function to create a string equate and secondly you are missing the begining quote for DEF.
Use

string_test$ = BUILD$("abc","DEF")
or
string_test = BUILD$("abc","DEF")

Really?

Straight from the help file...

$Name      = "John Smith"
$Fullname  = "John" & " Smith"
$UserName  = $First & $Last
$PrintCode = CHR$(27, 34, "E") + SPACE$(10) + CHR$(65 TO 90)
$AppGuid   = GUID$("{01234567-89AB-CDEF-FEDC-BA9876543210}")

Maybe you meant you can't use the BUILD$() function...
