I would like to concatenate 2 variables and format as A - B.
I used cats(A,' - ', B), but the result was A-B (no space between the letters and the dash).
I also tried cats(A, ' ' , '-', ' ', B), but it still returned A-B
Is there any way to add a space between them?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Try
catx(' - ',A,B)
From the documentation for CATS:
Removes leading and trailing blanks, and returns a concatenated character string.
