6.10.2.4.18. Concatenated variables

The variables ABC, PQR, and XYZ have been combined in a variable CONC.

Initial values:

ABC = 'A', 'B' , 'C' PQR = 'P', 'Q' , 'R' XYZ = 'X', 'Y' , 'Z'

Changed values:

CONC = '$ABC. 0 $PQR.$XYZ.', example: CONC = A 0 QY

  1. Open the upper dialog area so that you can see the target variables. The program has already recognized that the variables ABC, PQR and XYZ no longer exist in the new version.

    Formula for variable assignment [Variable assignment]

    Formula for variable assignment [Variable assignment]

  2. Create the new target variable CONC by clicking on Add variable assignment [Add variable mapping].

  3. Click on Formula.... [Algorithm...] in the Variable assignment column on the right

    -> The Edit formula [Edit algorithm] dialog box opens.

  4. Enter the following formula and confirm with OK.

    CONC = ABC//'0'//PQR//XYZ

    Explanations of the syntax can be found under Section 7.8.12.6, “Mathematical functions (feature algorithm ) ”.

  5. If you now set new values for ABC, PQR and XYZ in the left-hand table, the desired adjustment is automatically made immediately in the right-hand table under CONC.

    Value for "CONC" is automatically detected correctly.

    Value for "CONC" is automatically detected correctly.

  6. Finally, click on Confirm all assignments [Verify all mappings] .
