Subject:      Combining mutiple string variables into one string
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Is there a command/statement in SPSS that can take three n string variables
and combine them into one string variable?
 
The problem I have is that someone has sent me address
information that is seperated into four fields: buiding number,
street direction, street name, and street type.  I need to combine
these four string field into one field so that I can geocode the addresses.
 
Thanks
