Hi,
I have the following table that is generated by a transpose statement:
ID PrdGrp_1 PrdGrp_2 Prd_Grp_3 etc..
1 1 . .
2 1 3 .
3 2 4 9
etc.
The above will have PrdGrp_n based on the transactional data prior to the transpose step.
I am looking to create a variable that concatenates PrdGrp_1 to PrdGrp_n separated by '-' so it would look something like this.
ID PrdGrp_1 PrdGrp_2 Prd_Grp_3 Description
1 1 . . 1
2 1 3 . 1-3
3 2 4 9 2-4-9
etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
CATX using of to reference array.
CATX ("-", of array(*));
Just a note, you don't have to put them into an array in order to concatenate them:
Desp=catx('-', of Prodgrp:);
or
Desp=catx('-', of prodgrp_1-prodprp_3);
And be aware, this method is more tolerant than Array method, you won't get warning if you mix up Char variables with Num variables.
