Parameters 

destination      Recipient of the MOVE operation.

source-field     A data item in the list and data register or an ASCII
                 string (enclosed in quotes) to be moved into the
                 destination field.

+                The operator used to indicate concatenation.

-                The operator used to indicate removal.

Discussion 

This enhancement allows users to combine a mix of data items and ASCII
strings using the concatenation and removal operators of the MOVE verb.
Currently, Transact programmers can only combine two items; this
enhancement allows users to combine any number of items with the MOVE
verb.  Items and strings to be combined are specified in the order of
their intended concatenation or removal.  Trailing blanks are stripped
after concatenation.

Example 

     1) MOVE (ADDRESS) = (STREET-NO) + (STREET) + (STATE) + (ZIP-CODE);

     2) MOVE (ABBREVIATION) = (WORD1) + "-" + (WORD2) -
                             "A" - "E" - "I" - "O" - "U";
