Combining 2 rasters with Con statement

Question

I'm trying to combine 2 rasters together and am trying to do it using a 'Con' statement in Raster Calculator.  I want to use the full extent raster (raster "A") for most of the values but where there is overlap of the two layers, use raster "B" for those values.  So the statement in plain English is "Where raster "B" exists, use those values.  In all other places, use Raster "A".  My syntax isn't correct as I keep getting results that don't reflect my desire.

Con("nhdperennial"("nhdperennial"),"watsurfinn",wellsnhd)

The first argument should be a comparison, not "nhdperennial"("nhdperennial"), and your last argument needs quotes.

I haven't set the extent at all and when I just ran a RC command that you mention using "Is Null" it makes the cells in raster 'B' be Null and I want them to have their cell values but am getting an error when I replace "Is Null" with raster 'B'.  Here's the syntax of that: Con("nhdperennial"("nhdperennial"),"watsurfinn",wellsnhd)
