### Concat Function

Use the flag NOORD to force a continuous field:

```json
{
  "method": "BuildBakedField",
  "targetTable": "Journeys",
  "overwrite": true,
  "name": "Journey_ID",
  "function": "string",
  "p1": "CONCAT(A,B,C,D,E,F)",
  "p2": "E_ID",
  "project": "JoinDiscreteContinuous",
  "flags": "NOORD"
}
```
