Concat in asp

[Farnzy]

I am trying to concatenate four strings. I have them in four variables and I
get errors when I try to use concat. Can you look at this and see what my
problem is?

I am assigning these variables in the DRW area right after the line that is
grabbing each field.
If I assign each one to the variable fullname singly then they show in my
table. I just can't get a correct concat statement.
I get errors like: Object Required - when I have the concat statement as <%
fullname = lname.concat(fname) %>


and

Expected end of statement

/Finance/PayBills.asp, line 125

fullname = lname.concat fname

when the concat statement is: <% fullname = lname.concat fname %>


<% CustNumber = fp_rs("CUST_NO") %>
<% lname = fp_rs("LAST_NAME") %>
<% fname = fp_rs("FIRST_NAME") %>
<% slname = fp_rs("SPOUSE_LAST_NAME") %>
<% sfname = fp_rs("SPOUSE_FIRST_NAME") %>

<% fullname = lname.concat(fname) %>


<TABLE>
<form action="https://epayment.epymtservice.com/epay.jhtml" method="post">
<TR><TH ALIGN=RIGHT>Customer Number(AKA Biller Payor ID):</TH><TD><input

It's been a while since I worked with classic ASP, but I don't think
VBScript has a concat method. JScript does.

You're getting the object required error because the strings aren't objects,
they're variant datatypes. The VBScript compiler is just throwing an error
because you are obviously trying to access some method, but you don't have
an object currently.

To concatenate in VBScript though is much easier than this, simply use the &
to concatenate two strings like so:

fullname = fname & lname

For more information on VBScript concatenation operators visit:

Correct
Or to make it more readable
fullname = fname & " " & lname

Doh! How did I miss that one Now I really need to look at my C# code I
wrote yesterday to make sure I didn't do that there as well hehe

I am getting stuck on this because of the scope of variables I believe. Here
is what's happening. lname and fname are showing up as brown text in
frontpage, they are declared by <% lname = fp_rs("LAST_NAME") %> directly
after the DBRW line that is bringing LAST_NAME from my database.

If I put those variable names in a vb or java script area, they are black
and no value is associated with them.

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

Your variables need to be declared inside of the actual DBRW results
(between the 2 yellow rows)
