#LINEJOIN Built-In Function

Use #LINEJOIN to delete the end-of-line at the end of a specified line, thereby joining

the following line to it.

variable-level

is an existing variable level in which joining is to take place.

line-addr

is an integer or a variable level that contains an integer. line-add specifies the

line number from which the end-of-line is to be deleted. The line address must be

in the range from 1 to max-int, inclusive.

Result

#LINEJOIN returns nothing.

Considerations

•

If line-addr is equal to or greater than the number of the last line, no joining

occurs.

•

Lines are joined with no intervening new character.

•

You can use #CHARDEL to delete an end-of-line at a specific character position.

Examples

Assume that var is a variable level containing this:

ABCDEFG

HIJKLMNOPQRST

UVWXYZ

The invocation:

#LINEJOIN var 2

causes var to contain:

ABCDEFG

HIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

#LINEJOIN variable-level line-addr
