─────Character Expressions──────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Character expressions produce values of type character. Basic
     operands used in character expressions are:
 
          ■ Character constants or variables
          ■ Character array elements
          ■ Character function references
          ■ Character substrings
 
     The concatenation operator (//) is the only character operator.
     It produces a character string consisting of the value of the first
     operator concatenated on the right with the value of the second
     operator. The length is the sum of the lengths of the two operands.
 
     Example:
 
     'AB ' // 'CDE' evaluates to 'AB CDE'
