Hi, forgive me cuz I'm new with powerbuilder. I just came from programming with Cold Fusion for 5 years and it had the ability to know the diff between strings and ints, and the 2 could be used interchangealby rather easily. Anyway, is there any way I can type cast an integer to be a string? Basically, I have a constant that I want to display in the MessageBox function. I am trying to concatenate the integer in between the strings but it isn't letting me. And I'm having issues trying to assign a string to the integer. Thanks!!!

Sorry. I figured it out shortly after the post.
My constant is
int gc_i_max_items
In my script:
string lv_s_max_items
lv_s_max_items = string(gc_i_max_items)
Then the messagebox
MessageBox('Item Retrieval','Selecting more than '+ lv_s_max_items +' items is not allowed.',Exclamation!)

You can also use the String( ) function in-line as well...
//global variable...
Integer gi_max
//script...
MessageBox( 'Some Title', 'Cannot have more than ' + String( gi_max ) + ' items.' )
Either way is fine, but I'm lazy, and opt to use the String( ) function embedded more often than not.
