Report Builder & a dot p procedure

try my-char-var = packing-slip-no + "," + string(po-line).

This will give you a comma separated list, which you can unpack in the
receiving procedure.

To the group:

We are still on V4.0, latest patch. I have written a report in RB to print
receiving labels. I have also created a vantage basic screen with a button
to print the label from the receipt detail screen.

My problem:
I'm having trouble passing the necessary parameters into the .p file and on
to RB for printing. I'm trying to pass the packing slip number (char) and
packing slip line number (integer). When I try to place these into a
variable (char) concatenated behind the company ID for pass to RB it gives
me an error message, the data types are incompatible.

I tried eliminating (temporarily) the line number from the .p file and from
the RB filter and got by the data incompatibility problem. I get an error
when RB tries to execute the filter. It was filtering only for company and
packing slip number.

I need both the packing slip number and line number to get what I need done
but I'm not sure where to find the answers to the error messages. If you
wish to contact me off list feel free.

Thanks in advance.
