Hi Jonathan,

Is the variable Descr long enough? Did you tried to use rtrim?

COMPUTE Descr = CONCAT ("SW ",rtrim(crsno),"-",rtrim(sec)) .

Greetings

Jan

I'm having trouble getting CONCAT to work with more than two items.



COMPUTE Descr = CONCAT ("SW ",crsno,"-",sec) .  This successfully
concatenates "SW " and the variable crsno, but stops there.  The same
problem occurs with using just variables.
