I found a method

string a = "a"
string b = "b"
Buffer x = create
x += a
x += b

string ok = stringOf(x)

print ok

Output => ab

string a = "a"
string b = "b"
Buffer x = create
x += a
x += b

string ok = stringOf(x)

print ok

Look in the DXL Manual under Basic Types, String operations - there you can see that string concatenation in DXL is done (unlinke any other language) using a simple " " (space). E.g.:

string x = "a"
string y = "b"
string z = x y
print z

Thank you for your answer, but i cant find in the manual the point "basic types"

Only "basic functions" and "types" under "introduction"

I was referring to the chapter "Fundamental types and function" (Chapter 9) ... This chapter, the chapter "General Language Facilities" (Chapter 10?) and the "Introduction" (Chapter 1?) are the absolute must reads, when you start with DXL. Normally it helps, to read them several times, there is a lot of useful information in there. Regards, Mathias
