Re: AW: Concatenating G type variables

Hi Dave,

It's a long story. The original file had CCSID 13488 but I needed the key 
fields to be in a different sequence & hence I had to recreate the file. 
In doing so the CCSID changed to 835. This may be the reason why the 
statement did not work. I then recreated the file with CCSID 13488 & it 
works just as you say.

Thanks again, you've been of great help.

Ewart,

If vnani and vnobj are already CCSID 13488 (Ucs2), you should not need 
the %Ucs2 on them.
Just the

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

should do the trick.  You only have to change the fields that are not 
already Ucs2.
