| I'm trying to combine a numeric (number?) date and text to form the following: 38353SJUAGENTS.I can convert a date column into a numeric value by this entry: CONVERT (INT (5), reportdate) = 38353.I can then combine two text columns together:ProfitCentersTable.AirportCode + BranchesTable.BranchCode = SJUAGENTSWhen I try to combine the three I get an error:"Syntax error converting the varchar value 'SJU' to a column of data type int."How do you combine numbers with text?A big "Thanks" as always to everyone on this Forum for their assistance and push in the right direction.GC |
