OK, I know how to split string variables but have not found a way to join string variables. Did a search but could not source something out. Can you direct me to a command? Or if not is there a way round it. I just want to put two or more strings in one even if missing values exist. For example,
obs Var1 Var2 Var3 Var3
1 A B K ABK
2 C C
3 D ED BED
I have Var1 and Var2 and want to create Var3.
----------------------------------------
Assuming that you want to create var4 from var1, var2, and var3:
generate var4 = var1+var2+var3
You might also want to study:
help string functions
Hope this helps
