Re: AW: Concatenating G type variables

Hi Dave,

Thanks a million. All the fields do have CCSID 13488. I had to change all
the fields to Ucs2 but it works fine now.
vnani = %Ucs2(vnani) + %Ucs2('.') + %Ucs2(vnobj);

For me that tip was fantastic to get me started !!

Ewart,

If theses graphic fields are Unicode (CCSID 13488) you could use the
following:

vnani = %trim(vnani) + %Ucs2('.') + %trim(vnobj);

The dspffd command should tell you what the CCSID for the fields,.

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

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 ??
