RE: Operands are not compatible with the type of operator

["Dennis Lovelady" <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't receive the original message.

The eval stringVariable += otherString (as David suggested) works fine in
ILE RPG as long as stringVariable is a *varying* value.  (When you think
about it, it doesn't make sense to allow this operation when the receiving
end is a non-varying-length field.

I don't know if a space is allowed between + and = but I do know they must
be in that sequence.  += is (to me) easier to read and less confusing
anyway.
