how to concatenate string in simple transformations?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to use a business field (data that is passed via ROOT to a simple transformation) to build a URL.

For ex. business field 'product_name' contains the value 'ipod'. Now, within the simple transformation, i want my xml to look link this:

<product name = ipod link="http://google.com/ipod"/>

I want the "ipod" in the link attribute to be picked up from the business field. In other words, i want to concatenate: "link="http://google.com/" and product_name.

How can i do this string concatenation within simple transformation?

Regards,

Ram

Hi

You can use CONCATENATE statement for it..

PRODUCT_NAME = 'ipod'.
CONCATENATE 'http://google.com/' PRODUCT_NAME INTO LINK.

Now the Link Variable will be having

http://google.com/ipod

Hope it will solve your problem..

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

I've been trying for some time now and still no idea how (/if) it is possible. Just to add clarity to the issue i'm facing, in XSLT, to concatenate strings with the data values, for ex. to create a URL, the following code will work:

<prodct name='{$product/name}' *product_link='http://google.com/search?{$product/name}'*/>

I want to achieve the above functionality (building the product_link attribute) with simple transformations. Is this possible? If yes, how? Any help in this regard is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Ram
