Concatenate predefined string into a message

Former Member — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 07:13:32 GMT

I want the user to be able to specify the length of a message based on a predefined string - 'abc' f.ex. This means that the user choose how many occurrences of 'abc' there should be in the message. For this I need to concatenate 'abc' with 'abc' n-number of times. I have tried all posts regarding concatenation, but still no luck. How can you do this in a 'do' loop f.ex? If I say <b>CONCATENATE predef_message ' ' INTO final_message</b> the final_message is not "growing" but rather reset every time the loop is executed...

Thanks in advance!

try

loop.

Concatenate 'abc' pre_msg into pre_msg seperated by space.

endloop.

Do not initialize the pre_msg inside the loop.

Hiii..

Every time you declare the concatenate you must specify the final_message before 'into ' in your statement .Other wise it will take the value of new concatenated message.

Try this concatenate final_message predef_message ' ' into final_message.
