* QUESTION: How can i combine two variable into one
variable ? that is Variable " S_NO " and " S_Model " ?

DATA LIST FREE /brand (F8.0) model(A12) sales (F8.0).
BEGIN DATA
1 's_one' 19 1 's_one' 14 1 's_one' 29 1 's_one' 20
2 's_two' 13 2 's_two' 24 2 's_two' 24 2 's_two' 22
3 's_three' 20 3 's_three' 34 3 's_three' 27 3
's_three' 25
7 's_seven' 40 7 's_seven' 44 7 's_seven' 22 7
's_seven' 26
END DATA.

SORT CASES BY brand.
SAVE OUTFILE='c:\temp\temp.sav'.

GET FILE='c:\temp\temp.sav'.

I HAVE TRY the following syntax , but it does not
work.

compute S_NO = $casenum.
exe.

STRING S_Model (A50). /* declare new string variable
*/
COMPUTE S_Model=CONCAT(SUBSTR(S_NO,1,2)," ", Model).
exe.
