Hello folks,

I am trying to combine two fields by string; however, I need to put quotation marks around one of the fields prior to combining.

A            B
coc19        /afs/po101        
coc20        D:

I want the output to look like:

COMBINED STRING
coc19 "/afs/po101"
coc20 "D:"

What should I do to eval combstr = A +" "+B to add quotation marks?

I would appreciate your input

Thanks

eval combstr=A+" "+"\""+B+"\""
