Using Concatenate Function
The concatenate function merges two or more variables into one new variable. To create a con-
catenate function, do the following:
1. Click on the
button in the Standard toolbar or select Open in the File menu. Select
the label file ID_CARD.LBL from the sample folder.
The label has a link to the database so you see how the concatenate function operates on
a set of records.
2. Select the command Functions in the Data menu.
3. There is already one function defined in the label. Ignore it and click on the New button.
The dialog box with the properties of the new function will open.
4. In the General tab type 'My Concatenate function' for the name for the function.
5. Select the Concatenate function from the list of functions.
6. Click on the Detailed tab to define details for the function.
Look at the top of the dialog box. The left side contains the available variables defined
on the label.
7. Select the variables ID and NAME. Note that they have appeared in the right list box.
8. The name of the output variable is 'Concatenate' and delimiter is set to 'None'. Click on
the OK button.
