[SOLVED] Concatenate & symbol with a string

Hi All,
I am trying to concatenate & symbol with a text, but i end seeing an error message "(FOC295) A VALUE IS MISSING FOR: &'O"
I tried using the '|' operator for doing this. Are there any solution to this? i tried searching in the site. Please help ASAP

Arun,

An example:

  
-SET &S1='YEAR';
-SET &S2 = '&|' | &S1; 
-TYPE &S1 &S2

Thanks Danny, but it didnt work. Still I am getting the same error.
This is what I am doing,
-SET &WFILE = 'T'&|'O Applications,''|-|'.PDF;
So i want the output to look like T&O Applications.

Hey Danny it worked, thanks alot. I took three variables for doing it. Used the thrid one to concatenate the strings and the symbol. Once again thanks for sparking the idea to me.
