Whether it's an ALLTRIM, the "az" variable found within the defaultfields, or some other expression, you'll be using functions to trim the field down orotherwise streamline its appearance.Between those functions and fields, you'll have a plus sign, indicating that you're joiningthe field with something else. If you're joining it with a space, you'd have quote-spacequoteto tell it to print whatever is between the quotes--in this example, a space. Sincewe want it to print "Company #" between the quotes, we type exactly that, with a spacebefore the word "Company" so it doesn't print right next to the company name field:ALLT(company)+" Company #"+ALLT(STR(account))It's that simple! To complete the guide's instruction, we'll add the final "Expiring"message--again, with a space after the word to avoid printing it directly next to thedate. The entire expression, when completed, will read:ALLT(company)+" Company #"+ALLT(STR(account))+" Expiring "+DTOC(exp_date)That would print a line that looked like this (company is in red, static text is in black,account is in green, and the exp_date field is in blue).ABC Plumbing, Inc.
