Re: Concatenate two strings spacing issue

I have a similar issue.

We have a model number that can be up to 7 positions. The format is
Character(s), number(s). Then there could be an appendage to it, that
would denote a color, that would always be a char.

So a radio for example, would be say, RA12
in a color of white it would be RA12W.

I am displaying info in a subfile for models, but now they want to see,
all the related records, i.e. the RA12W's.

OF course, I can move the field and find my pattern of Char, num, char.
But then I have to do this routine for RA12, RAB12, RABC12.

Instead I would like to know first, how many positions of the model fiels
are inhabited, and use a simple logic to pursue locating the related
records.

You want to do something Like this
Eval CATFIELD = %TRIM(FIELD1) + %TRIM(FIELD2)
