You may wish to consider the use of DEFINE; follow the link in the upper right corner for TechDoc. Or use the help feature in WebFOCUS. Look for 'concatentae' or 'concatentation.'

What is the WebFOCUS format? "mm" is not a valid format.

Hi Francis,

Here is the code that I tried.
I got the year and month.
I am trying to concatenate YEAR and MONTH fields.


-MRNOEDIT BEGIN
TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
PRINT
HIRE_DATE
-*COMPUTE DATE1/YYMD=HIRE_DATE; NOPRINT
-*COMPUTE DATE_FINAL/YYMD=DATEADD(DATE1,'M',-3);
COMPUTE YEAR/YY=HIRE_DATE;
COMPUTE MONTH/M=HIRE_DATE;
-*COMPUTE YEARMONTH/YYM=YEAR|'/'|MONTH;
END
-MRNOEDIT END


Thanks
Ani

The statement, COMPUTE YEARMONTH/YYM=YEAR|'/'|MONTH, tells WebFOCUS that the variable is a so-called Smart date. It would appear that you want a character string like the following:
YEARMONTH/A7 = YEAR | '/' | MONTH;
Note the difference in format.

or even simpler still (forget about concatenating - just use the date):
TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
PRINT
HIRE_DATE
COMPUTE NDATE1/YYM=HIRE_DATE;
COMPUTE NDATE2/A6YYM=NDATE1;
COMPUTE NDATE3/A7=EDIT(NDATE2,'9999/99');
END
