Adding (+) a string to an integer (or float, or double, etc) will
produce a string with that number in it...

There is a couple of ways to do what you are describing... this is the
simplest way:

String foo = "B0000";
int bar = 1;
String foobar = foo + bar; //This will produce your example string

//Another way to do the same thing
String foobar = "B0000" + 1;

//Then there is the DecimalFormat which would be better for use in a
loop
//where you need to generate a bunch of similar strings like you are 
//describing.

java.text.DecimalFormat formatter = new
java.text.DecimalFormat("B00000");

//formatter.format returns a String
for(int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
        System.out.println(formatter.format(i));

// Output would look like this:
// > B00000
//   B00001
//   ...
//   B99998
//   B99999

Hope that helps.

Subject: MOVE functionality in Java?

I realize this is more pertaining to Java.  But RPG programmers might
have 
a good answer as well, so I sent it to both lists.  Sorry.
I want to build a string such as "B00001" in Java using a string and an 
integer.  Is this possible?  I know if it were RPG I'd use a MOVE 
function.  Any ideas?  TIA.

And sorry David.
