Concatenate or prefill function problem

[realturay]

In CSPRo i am building a questionnaire and I have variable i.e. District Code, Chiefdom Code, and Village Code. When I input these codes in this different variables, I want the next variable to contain a combination of all three variable as an ID to that interview

If you are fine with the next variable being a string, you can define it as alpha in the dictionary, and then in the preproc of that field:

PROC FIELD4

preproc

    FIELD4 = maketext("%v%v%v", FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3);

"%v" formats those fields using the formatting parameters defined in the dictionary.

Hi Gregory,

I am still having trouble getting this right.

I created a new variable called EIN that I want it to hold these values but it's not working for me

Is your EIN variable numeric or string. If it is numeric convert it to string. Than try using this logic.
