I have an unknown number of variables that have the same prefix for the variable name. I want to concatenate all the fields into a single field separated by a semi-colon. Is there a simple notation to do something like:
catx('; ', code:)
I could create a macro variable that gets the number of variables and then just do:
catx('; ', of code1-code&ncodes.)
but I thought I would see if there is a simpler notation.
You can do that, however ...
Since code: also refers to a list of variables, you still need to add "of":
catx('; ', of code:)
