SQL Columns
I want to convert this back to one column by concatenating the variables i.e. (@a1 " & " @a2) can this be done?
DECLARE @A1 VARCHAR(2),
@A2 VARCHAR(2),
@A3 VARCHAR(2),
@A4 VARCHAR(2),
@A5 VARCHAR(2),
@A6 VARCHAR(2)
SELECT SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2) AS A1, SUBSTRING (LottoNum,3, 2) AS A2,SUBSTRING (LottoNum,5, 2) as A3,SUBSTRING (LottoNum,7, 2) AS A4,
SUBSTRING (LottoNum,9, 2) AS A5, SUBSTRING (LottoNum,11, 2) AS A6
FROM [Lotto].[dbo].[LottoAccoun
DECLARE @A1 VARCHAR(2),
@A2 VARCHAR(2),
@A3 VARCHAR(2),
@A4 VARCHAR(2),
@A5 VARCHAR(2),
@A6 VARCHAR(2)
SELECT SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2) AS A1, SUBSTRING (LottoNum,3, 2) AS A2,SUBSTRING (LottoNum,5, 2) as A3,SUBSTRING (LottoNum,7, 2) AS A4,
SUBSTRING (LottoNum,9, 2) AS A5, SUBSTRING (LottoNum,11, 2) AS A6
FROM [Lotto].[dbo].[LottoAccoun
In this particular example you could of course do this as well.
SELECT @result = SUBSTRING(LottoNum,1, 12) FROM [Lotto].[dbo].[LottoAccoun
That may not work if you to take the data from the vars rather than the table, but since the pieces were contiguous in the original field this could be an alternate approach.

This did not work.
DECLARE @A1 VARCHAR(2),
@A2 VARCHAR(2),
@result VARCHAR(20)
SET @result = @A1 + @A2
SELECT @result = (SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2), SUBSTRING (LottoNum,3, 2))
from dbo.LottoAccount
print @result
DECLARE @A1 VARCHAR(2),
@A2 VARCHAR(2),
@result VARCHAR(20)
SET @result = @A1 + @A2
SELECT @result = (SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2), SUBSTRING (LottoNum,3, 2))
from dbo.LottoAccount
print @result

I tried this as well Bill
DECLARE @A1 VARCHAR(2),
@A2 VARCHAR(2),
@result VARCHAR(20)
SELECT @result = SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2) AS A1, SUBSTRING (LottoNum,3, 2) AS A2
SET @result = @A1 + @A2
from dbo.LottoAccount
print @result
DECLARE @A1 VARCHAR(2),
@A2 VARCHAR(2),
@result VARCHAR(20)
SELECT @result = SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2) AS A1, SUBSTRING (LottoNum,3, 2) AS A2
SET @result = @A1 + @A2
from dbo.LottoAccount
print @result

your code does not make much sense so far.
you set @restult, but overwrite it then again ...

This is why I am asking for help :
SELECT @result = SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2) AS A1, SUBSTRING (LottoNum,3, 2) AS A2
from dbo.LottoAccount
print @result
SELECT @result = SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2) AS A1, SUBSTRING (LottoNum,3, 2) AS A2
from dbo.LottoAccount
print @result

Thanks for your help
SELECT @a1 = SUBSTRING (LottoNum,1, 2) AS A1, etc ...
as from then, you can do :
set @result = @a1 + @a2 ... etc ..
