How can I concatenate files for transfer from the iseries

Mgaylard — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:12:39 +0000

I have 3 files with a common layout in a common library on the i5.

The source files (query results) have different definitions so I am unable to append the result of query2 to query1.

So what I want is to perform a UNION or concatenate them into a single download file.

I have tried a UNION but keep gettting syntax errors.

How to concat SQL Server 2005 data with line feed

TLMercer — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:46:35 +0000

I am attempting to update a column in SQL Server 2005 by concatenating data from two other columns and include a line feed between the two and have the second line begin with a /.

The data will be viewed through an MS Access 2003 database with a linked table using an ODBC connection. The script I am using in MS SQL Server Management Studio Query window is:

update tblinventory set abstract = [title_1]+char(10)+char(13)+’/'+[Title_2] where ITEM_NO = 10850

However, when the results are viewed using Access I see in the abstract column data from title_one “two boxes” a / and data from title_two.

I would expect to see the /and data from title_two on a different line.

An example is data in title_1 = Houston data in title_2 = Texas; I would expect to see data returned in abstract as Houston new line /Texas However when viewed through the linked table in Access I see in column abstract Houston BOX BOX [two][/two]/Texas all on the same line the two boxes I assume are the special characters for line feed and carrige return but Access is not interpreting them correctly. When the same row of data is viewed through MS SQL Server Management Studio Query window the data for abstract is displayed on one line as: Houston /Texas.

Can anyone assist with this issue? Thanks in advance

Times spanning midnight in RPG/400 concatenation

UVADebbie — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 14:02:03 +0000

I have successfully converted time field to date/time. Now I need to find the total minutes between one field and another but cannot get it to show me any value. I am using DateDiff (‘n’,{@startdatetune}, {@startdatetime}) where n indicates minutes. I should be able to use any field where I have concatenated the date and time into one field. Right?

Total Balance for Concatenated Unique ID in Access and Excel

Roballen88 — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 02:05:29 +0000

Hi, I have two spreadsheets that I import in to MS Access to compare. To get a comparable Unique Identified, I concatenate the data in three columns to one unique reference. I then want to find the total balance for each identifier, which normally have around 8 entries each and then compare it against the other data. Does anyone have any advice for this process? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Concatenate many *CHAR variables.

SYNON built in function *CONCAT

Larsholmberg — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 15:07:11 +0000

I need to combine several fields into one text field and thinking about using *CONCAT for that. However it seems that *CONCAT can only merge two fields at a time. If so it would mean a lot of code if I have ten fields to merge.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Thanks for any help!

Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong with this particular line of code.
