Hi,
I hope the below code will meet your requirement.
| Code: |
LP='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
DO I= 1 TO 26
STR = SUBSTR(LP,I,1)
DO J=1 to 9
SAY "GENERATED:"||STR||J
END
END |
Thanks
Sai |

Hello,

The error is because 'A' and 'Z' are not numeric.
Also, keep in mind that even if the process could increment from A to Z, there are values between A and Z that you would not want.
For example the letter I is x'C9' - the letter J is x'D1'. Your process (if it could work) would include the values from x'CA' thru x'CF' and i'm sure you would not want them. |
