The following table provides examples for using the ADD operator. The ADD operator adds operand1 and operand2.
Command |
Result |
set A = A ADD 456 A = 000123 |
123 + 456 = 579 This operation is useful for counters or loop control variables. The result does not retain the zeros. |
set A = A ADD none A = 9999999999 |
9999999999 + 0 = # + 0 = # If an operand contains a value greater than 4294967295, the result is null (#). |
set A = A ADD B A = 000123 B = # |
123 + # = # The # character in a variable is seen as invalid (#). |
set A = A ADD A A = none (or null string) |
0 + 0 = 0 none is interpreted as 0 |
set B = A ADD 456 Variable definitions:
|
1234 + 456 = 1690 = # This is an overflow since the result was greater than three digits. |
set B = A ADD 456 Variable definitions:
|
1234 + 456 = 1690 No leading zeros are included in the result. |
