> Pig script, which uses a UDF  loads in 3 chararray columns, and then concatenates columns 2 and 3 using a semicolon.
> {code}
> register CONCATSEP.jar;
> A = LOAD 'someinput/*' USING PigStorage(';') as (col1:chararray,col2:chararray,col3:chararray);
> B = FOREACH A GENERATE col1, string.CONCATSEP(';',col2,col3) as newcol;
