Re: AW: Concatenating G type variables

Hi Birgitta,

Thanks a lot. Yes I found that out & I'm now searching for ways to convert
the '.' into a graphic character. There are some %GRAPH examples in the
manual but the concept is still not very clear. Hope to find a solution
soon.

Thanks & best regards
Ewart

Hi,

the problem is the dot which is character must be converted into Graphic,
too with the appropriate built-in-function!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: Concatenating G type variables

Hi All,

Following are 2 Graphic type fields.

VNANI G 0 247 304
VNOBJ G 0 347 358

The following statement does not work.

vnani = %trim(vnani) + '.' + %trim(vnobj);

Error message:
*RNF7421 30 045400 Operands are not compatible with the type of
operator.

Any ideas how to concatenate G type fields ??

Thanks & best regards
Ewart
