  {
    // Initialize OracleString structs
    OracleString string1 = new OracleString("AAA");
    
    // Display the string "AAA"
    Console.WriteLine("{0} has length of {1}", string1, string1.Length);
 
    // Contatenate characters to string1 until the length is 5 
    while (string1.Length < 5)
      string1 = OracleString.Concat(string1,"a");
      
    // Display the string of "AAAaa"
    Console.WriteLine("{0} has length of {1}", string1, string1.Length);
