CONCAT2

The function concatenates two strings of the data type STRING of any length and checks whether the resulting string is longer than a specified output string. In this case the string is truncated.

The function returns

TRUE if the concatenation was successful.
FALSE if the resulting string is longer than the output string and doesn't fit in the given output buffer. The memory requirement for the resulting string is then larger than that for the output string. The string is then truncated.

The function stops the checking of the input length after Parameterlist.cMaxCharacters characters in order to avoid an infinite loop.
