Change in CONCAT Operator in C++ Code

The documented behavior of the CONCAT operator is that trailing blanks are removed from field values. In practice, it was possible to retain trailing blanks in C++ functions in cases where the values concerned were not displayed on panels. This inconsistency was corrected in CA Plex r4.0 in that trailing blanks are now removed in all cases. The recommended technique for including blanks in concatenated strings is to use the Format Message statement with the blanks embedded in the message.
