Re: Another Concatenation Question

Hi Dave,

Two choices.  Either make Text VARYING (just put the keyword VARYING on the
Text D-spec) or use %trim(Text), as in:

> C                   Eval      Text = 'Ck: #' + %trim(%editc(E$CkNo:'4'))
> C                   If        E$DrLc <> ' '
> C                   Eval      Text = %trim(Text) + ', License #: ' +
E$DrLc
> C                   If        E$DlSt <> ' '
> C                   Eval      Text = %trim(Text) + '(' + E$DlSt + ')'
> C                   Endif
> C                   Endif
>
> C                   If        E$CkGn <> ' '
> C                   Eval      Text = %trim(Text) + ', Guar#:' +
%trim(E$CkGn)
> C                   Endif
