a!localVariables(
  local!Var1 : "Hello,",
  local!Var2 : "World!",
  local!combinedText : local!Var1 & local!Var2, 
  /*or*/
  /*local!combinedText : concat( local!Var1,local!Var2),*/
  local!combinedText
)

You can use the & operator or you can use concat() function

    Using "&" inside concat() is nonsense. Concat takes any number of parameters. I changed this in my example below.

    And there is no need to declare a local variable just to define the output of an expression. I see that a lot recently and really wonder where this is coming from.

    a!localVariables(
  local!Var1 : "Hello,",
  local!Var2 : "World!",
  
  concat(local!Var1, local!Var2)
)

    I personally recommend using concat() to concatenate text together simply because it is easier to collapse/uncollapse in the expression editor.

    We can use concat() function in which we need to wrap both the local variables local var1 and local var2 in concat() function and for the spacing in between we can use char(32). for ex:- concat(localvar1,char(32),localvar2).
