>what is the symbol for multiple variables being added to gether for instace if i have the value a = "123" and i want to add it to b = "123" and i want in my new variable to store c= "123123" not c = "264"
If they're numeric, use c = ALLTRIM(STR(a) + ALLTRIM(STR(b).
If chr, don't use the STR.
If you want c to be numeric, then c = VAL(ALLTRIM(STR(a) + ALLTRIM(STR(b)).
