Re: AW: Concatenating G type variables

[ewart.desouza@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Dave,

Thanks a million. All the fields do have CCSID 13488. I had to change all 
the fields to Ucs2 but it works fine now.
        vnani = %Ucs2(vnani) + %Ucs2('.') + %Ucs2(vnobj);

For me that tip was fantastic to get me started !!

Ewart,

If theses graphic fields are Unicode (CCSID 13488) you could use the 
following:

vnani = %trim(vnani) + %Ucs2('.') + %trim(vnobj); 

The dspffd command should tell you what the CCSID for the fields,.
