I am building up a character string to print. It is a length field, so it may contain feet and inches, and we want to print a foot mark ' and an inch mark "

I have these D specs:

D sngqut C CONST(''' ') yes, that's a space after the single quote.
D dblqut C CONST('"')
D cutalpha s 20

My eval statement works fine when the sngqut is within the initial creation of the string. Once the string is created, under certain conditions I want to add a double quote to the end of it.

This code did not work:

C EVAL cutalpha = cutalpha + dblqut

Ok, I figure use the old opcode


C cutalpha CAT '"' cutalpha

C CAT dblqut cutalpha

Neither one of these works.

What am I missing? all I want to do is cat a double quote to the end of a string.
