Concatenate 2 string variables

Tom
Hi

 

After the transformation of a numeric variable Nr in a string ...

 

STRING Nrstring (A3).

 COMPUTE Nrstring = STRING (Nr, F3).

EXE.

 

... I tried to concatenate this new variable Nrstring (which is the
house number) with the variable Strasse (which is the street, format
A20) in a new variable Strasse1.

 

COMPUTE Strasse1 = CONCAT (RTRIM (Strasse), Nrstring).

EXE.

 

I got only the new variable Nrstring, but nothing else!? Where lies my
stupid mistake?

Thanks

Tom

declare strasse1 as a string first?
string strasse1 (a23).
COMPUTE Strasse1 = CONCAT (RTRIM (Strasse), Nrstring).
