String Rules

A string expression is a concatenation of expressions of String type or of unknown type.

<String Exp> consists of one of these:

<String Value>

<String Exp> + <String Value>

<String Exp> + <Typeless Value>

A string value can be any of these:

• A string literal
• A quoted variable reference
• A function call returning a string value
• A string sub-expression enclosed in parentheses

<String Value> consists of one of these:

StringLiteral

<FilterIdValue>

IF (<Boolean Exp>, <String Exp>, <Typeless Exp>)

IF (<Boolean Exp>, <Typeless Exp>, <String Exp>)
