Combining DBText

rbuser

If I have two fields that I want adding together as one in a report, i.e.
address and zip/postcode so that they word wrap neatly.

What is the best way of doing this in RB6?

Ive had a look through the help files but they are not very clear.

Hi Andy,

create a calculated field or use a 'TppVariable' component with some RAP code. The latter needs at least the Enterprise version.

Andy,

Check out Demo 33 at \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\dm0033.pas. This demo shows
how do perform an address merge in code. You may also merge one line using
a TppVariable and data directly from the pipeline as Chris explained.

MyVariable.Value := Report.DataPipeline['city'] + ' ' +
Report.DataPipeline['state'];
