Description Kathy Carroll CLA 2011-08-11 09:22:55 EDT 
Works as expected when parameter is an IN. Fails for when declared INOUT ... the string value becomes only the suffix.

program appendTest type BasicProgram {}
	function main()
		data string = "incomingINOUT";
		append(data);
		data = "incomingIN";
		appendIN(data);
	end
	
	function append(str String inout)
		trace(str);
		str += "*** SUFFIX ****";
		trace(str);
	end
	
	function appendIN(str String in)
		trace(str);
		str += "*** SUFFIX ****";
		trace(str);
	end
	
	function trace(info string in)
		syslib.writeStdOut(info);
	end
end
