Dear DDLm group members,

It appears that we have exhausted the discussion on the pros and cons of a concatenation operator.  I'd therefore like to call for a vote on the following:

"That a datavalue concatenation operator be added to the CIF2 syntax.  The concatenation operator shall be a single underscore, placed between the two datavalues to be concatenated and separated from each of them by whitespace.  The concatenation operator may only be used to concatenate delimited datavalues."

James.
