<p>You can concatenate values in a message. For example, you can set a field to a series of field values concatenated using a separator.</p>
<p>To concatenate a series of auxiliary operands and set them to a target operand:</p>
<ol>
<li>Select the target operand.</li>
<li>Select the <strong>By Concatenating</strong> action operator to display the Concatenation form:<br> <span class="confluence-embedded-file-wrapper"><img class="confluence-embedded-image" src="attachments/133163181/133163187.png" data-image-src="attachments/133163181/133163187.png" data-unresolved-comment-count="0" data-linked-resource-id="133163187" data-linked-resource-version="1" data-linked-resource-type="attachment" data-linked-resource-default-alias="ConcatenationForm.png" data-base-url="https://docs.rhapsody.health" data-linked-resource-content-type="image/png" data-linked-resource-container-id="133163181" data-linked-resource-container-version="1"></span></li>
<li>Enter the auxiliary operands.</li>
<li>Enter the concatenation separator into the <strong>Separator Between Values</strong> field (or leave blank if you want no separator between the auxiliary operands).</li>
<li>Click the <strong>OK</strong> link to save your changes, or the <strong>Cancel</strong> link to discard them.</li>
</ol>
