This is probably very basic but it's stumping me.
Lets say I have the following:
integer x
integer y
x=1
y=1
What I want is to combine them in the sequence {11}. Can I just do this by
assigning them to a variable:
sequence combined = {xy}
Sorry, looked all thru the manual and couldn't find a representative example.
Thanks!
Rich

To join arbitary sized integers, this might be what you're after ...
-- Convert to strings and concatenate them
combined = sprintf("%d", x) & sprintf("%d", y)
-- Convert the combined string into an integer
combined = value(combined)
-- Extract the resulting integer and place it in a sequence
combined = {integer(combined[2])} -- this might fail if result is too big
-- Thus x=12 and y=9876 gives {129876}

{1,1}

integer x,y
sequence combined
x=1
y=2
combined={x,y}
--combined[1]would =1
--combined[2]would =2
David Gay's tutorial goes into this quit extensivly.
Hope this helps,
