Re: [open-cobol-list] True concatenate.

[Mark Perew]

STRING can be an expensive operation.  If you know you're going to concatenate that way, why not do something more straightforward like:

01 X
     05 FILLER      PIC X(20).
     05 Y-PRIME     PIC X(20).


MOVE Y TO Y-PRIME.

Depends on compiler and for most answer is yes but test it should work for OC.
