Hi,

I have the following situation:
field1 is xxxxxxx and field2 is xxxxxxxxx, I want to concat them but leave multiple spaces i.e. 10 spaces between the two fields.
I have tried this sort of solution:
 FIELD1 || ('          ' | FIELD2)

But it does not work. I also cannot use the following option as the output is not HTML:
-SET &SPACE='&|nbsp;&|nbsp;&|nbsp;&|nbsp;&|nbsp;&|nbsp;&|nbsp;&|nbsp;&|nbsp;';


Does anyone know of a way around this?

Thanks!

This appears to work in WF 5.3.2 and WF 7.6.5:

FILEDEF H01 DISK TESTFM/H01.WP
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE TEST1/A100 = MODEL || ('          ' | COUNTRY);
ON TABLE HOLD AS H01 FORMAT WP
END
-RUN
