##### Description

> Used to force string concatenation of two expressions.

##### Syntax

> result = expression1 & expression2

> The & operator syntax has these parts:

> Part | Description
> result | Any variable.
> expression1 | Any expression.
> expression2 | Any expression.

##### Remarks

> Whenever an expression is not a string, it is converted to a String subtype. If both expressions are Null, result is also Null. However, if only one expression is Null, that expression is treated as a zero-length string ("") when concatenated with the other expression. Any expression that is Empty is also treated as a zero-length string.
