There is a space appearing where i dont want one.

Hello,

I'm using a stored process to create an HTML file, i want to place a row with a link like this:



if first.lot_id then put ''Lot_id' Priority: ' Lot_priority '
';

 run;

the result in the HTML file generates:

AL100379/1 Priority: 2

AL100402 Priority: 2

AL100403 Priority: 2

as you can see there is always a space after the number in the url. I tried trim, strip or compress but i think the problem is situating in the quoting of my string. Any help?

Does this DATA Step code illustrate the problem and solution?

[pre]
data _null_;
Lot_id='AL100379';
Lot_priority=2;
put '<a href="' lot_id '">' Lot_id '</a> Priority: ' Lot_priority ' ';
put '<a href="' lot_id +(-1) '">' Lot_id +(-1) '</a> Priority: ' Lot_priority +(-1) ' ';
run;
[/pre]

Hi:
In order to post code, protect > and < symbols, preserve code formatting and output indention and to otherwise learn how to post special symbols to the forum, refer to this previous forum posting. It talks about the LT and GT symbols and also discusses how to emphasize code and how to surround code snippets with [pre] and [/pre] (as you discovered

 do not preserve code formatting).

i still get :

[pre]

<a href="AL100379 ">AL100379 </a> Priority: 2 <a href="AL100379 ">AL100379 </a> Priority: 2 <a href="AL100379 ">AL100379 </a> Priority: 2 
[/pre]

and as you can see, after the number is still a space and i used the following code:
[pre]

if first.lot_id then do;
Lot_id='AL100379';
Lot_priority=2;
put '<a href="' lot_id '">' Lot_id '</a> Priority: ' Lot_priority ' ';
/* put line;*/
end;

[/pre]

The first PUT statement in my posting illustrates the problem, and the second one illustrates the solution. Try using the second format.
