AREV Specific

I'm trying to add a line of data to a variable then returning the answer in a message. For example:

Y='

For X=1 To 10

If @record=' Then

Y=Y + 'Test'

End

Next X

Call Msg(Y,'A',,)

I know that this doesn't work. Could someone help me with the code to have a result such as Y=Test':@VM:'Test':@VM:etc

Thanks,

Mark

Try

Y='

For X=1 To 10
If @record=' Then 
  y=Test'
End
Next X

Call Msg(Y,'A',,)

Although it may not display correctly in MSG

Your line of code

Y=Y + 'Test'

will not resolve because 'Test' is non-numeric. Use

Y=Y : 'Test'

or if Y is assigned

Y := 'Test'

Someone's been using VB or Delphi too often we suspect .

My suspicion is that he doesn't know string operators (concat, etc.) or the question wouldn't have surfaced. Or RTFM for AREV. Now OI heh, heh, heh that's a little different .
