ASCII String Instructions (CONCAT, DELETE, FIND, INSERT, MID) Chapter 18
Execution:
Example: To trigger a message in a MessageView terminal, the controller must send an ASCII string
that contains a message number and node number. String_1 contains the message
number. When add_node is set, the CONCAT instruction adds the characters in
node_num_ascii (node number) to the end of the characters in string_1 and then stores
the result in msg.
