Discussion

When you call %XML_STRING_APPEND, a copy of the Synergy string data is added to the end of the specified XML string. You can use %XML_STRING_APPEND to append a Synergy alpha string to an XML string created with %XML_STRING_CREATE.

This function is defined as ^VAL.

Examples

Assuming we have the following:

string1         ,a3 
xmlstring       ,XML_STRING_TYPE

xmlstring = %xml_string_create 
xcall xml_string_append(xmlstring, "hey ") 
string1 = "you" 
xcall xml_string_append(xmlstring, string1)

the contents of xmlstring become “hey you”.
