Hi, I have five fields in the database author1,author2..author5. Trying to generate a parameter for the select_sql method called result, I run into an error -cannot add type "int" to string. Could you please say how to concatenate a string and a number? please look at the code.. -- <dtml-in "_.range(1,6)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('field','author')"> <dtml-let field=field index=sequence-index result="field+index"> <dtml-in "select_sql(field=result , language=language)" > <dtml-var sequence-key> </dtml-in > </dtml-let> </dtml-in> -- or is there a better way to generate 5 different sql quesries and display the result? thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
