Concatenate text to a variable

[Former Member]

I'm working on a check form, and I need to insert commands that allow that tell the printer to enter into 'MICR Mode' to display the MICR font on the check. I have a variable called 'gv_micr_line' which contains the 3 sets of numbers that need to be printed in MICR font. I need to add characters to the front and back of that variable, which enables it to communicate with the printer. I need thevariable to display as: &%SMDgv_micr_line$ . Will the concatenate statement allow me to do this, while not losing the value assigned to the variable, and if so how can I do this?

use concatenate and concatenate 3 parts, ur control text start then variable the control text end and concatenate into some other variable and use it

So I separate each into 3 parts.

c1 = '&%SMD',

c2 = gv_micr_line, "variable containing text to be displayed in micr font

c3 = '$',

c4 type .....

concatenate c1 c2 c3 into c4.

So I would concatenate these into a new variable named 'c4', but will this new variable still contain the same value as the original?

C4 will be only used for passing it to print as it contains control text too and when u need the actual value u can refer to c2 always.

If this is not what u are looking for then can u explain ur scenario a bit more elaborately

Hi,

I agree to kartik. I also think the '&' in the text maybe causing problems
