Hi,

I have an output like this -

LocationEventNameErrorCodeSummary
server1Mssql.LogBackupFailedBackupAgentErrorFailed backup....
server2Mssql.LogBackupFailedBackupAgentErrorFailed backup....

 

Now I am trying to combine all the values of Location, EventName, ErrorCode and Summary into one field called "newfield" , lets say using a comma "," or ";"

I am trying this command -

 

 

| eval newfield= mvappend(LocationName,EventName,ErrorCode,summary)

 

 

but the output it is giving is -  

server1
Mssql.LogBackupFailed
BackupAgentError
Failed backup....

 

Output I am expecting is -

server1,Mssql.LogBackupFailed,BackupAgentError,Failed backup

Hi @man03359 ,

if you want the values of the fields separated by comma, you should use eval in this way:

| eval newfield=LocationName.",".EventName.",".ErrorCode.",".summary

Ciao.
