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.
