{
{   This request appends a string as a status parameter to the text field of a
{ status record.  This request assumes that the status record has been
{ initialized by a call to osp$set_status_abnormal.
{
{   This request differs from osp$append_status_parameter in that it accepts a
{ string of any length.  If the string is too long to fit into the status
{ record's text field, it is truncated on the right.
{
{       CLP$APPEND_STATUS_STRING (DELIMITER, TEXT, STATUS)
{
{ DELIMITER: (input)  This parameter specifies the character that will precede
{       the text supplied by this request in the text field of the status being
{       formed.  Depending on its value, this character may cause one of two
{       effects when the status is formatted into a message.  If this character
{       is the same as the first character in the text field, then the new text
{       will be treated as a separate status parameter.  If, however, this
{       character is different from the first character in the text field, then
{       this character and the new text will be treated as part of the
{       preceding status parameter (this feature permits the creation of a
{       single status parameter from separate pieces of data).
{
{ TEXT: (input)  This parameter specifies the string text.  Trailing spaces in
{       this text are not included in the status record.
{
{ STATUS: (input, output) This parameter specifies the status record to  which
{       the text is to be appended.
