How to populate elements of an array in a string

[vinod_ksingh]

Hi,

I have a run time array DEPTARR which has some departments into it.
I need to build a stirng containing these departments as running text.The message legth is 128 Chars.
The array will have values like:
234
345
357
678
I need to have message string built like

Message ='Following Departments 234,345,357 678 are not in department file'.

Any suggestions?
BTW I am using free format.
Thanks in advance for help.

if LastLoadedArrayElement > 0;
 
  If LastLoadedArrayElement = 1; 
    Message = 'Department ';
  else;
    Message = 'Departments ';
  endif;
 
  For x = 1 to LastLoadedArrayElement;
    Message += DeptArray(x)
 
    if x <> LastLoadedArrayElement;
      Message +=  ', ';
    endif;
 
  endfor;
 
  if LastLoadedArrayElement = 1;
    Message += ' is not in the department file';
  else;
    Message += ' are not in the department file';
  endif;
 
else;
  Message = *blank;
 
endif;

This code assume the field "Message" is varying. Otherwise you will have to do some trimming.

LastLoadedArrayElement field contains the last loaded array element.

are you using a message subfile and asking about message data?
