$DPIECE

Draft MDC Standard

7.1.5.5 $DPiece

$DP[IECE] ( [ initialrecordvalue ] , piecedelimiter , L [ recordfieldvalue ] )

    piecedelimiter::= expr

This function assembles the exprs of the recordfieldvalues into a single value. The value of initialrecordvalue is used as the starting value to which the recordfieldvalues are applied. If initialrecordvalue is omitted, the empty string is used. The piecedelimiter specifies the relative field number. If omitted, it defaults to the next successive value. For omitted recordfieldvalues the corresponding field is obtained from the initialrecordvalue. Although all elements of the list of recordfieldvalues are optional, at least one recordfieldvalue (not necessarily the first) in the list must be non-empty.
