Concatenate fields in Presentation Template

Does anyone know how to take the values of two fields from the dcr and concatenate them in the presenation template.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,
by extracting the values into perl variables, you can do *almost* anything with the values.

< iw_perl>< ![CDATA[
$val1 = iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.value1');
$val2 = iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.value2');
$concat = $val1 . $val2;
]]>< /iw_perl>

Thank you for taking the time to answer us......Can you look at this and tell me what we are doing wrong.

<tr> 
<iw_perl><![CDATA[
$val1 = 'index';
$val2 = iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.Month');
$val3 = iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.Year');
$val4 = '.html";
$concat = $val1 . $val2 . $val3 . $val4;
]]></iw_perl>

<td> <a href="{iw_perl} <![CDATA[$concat]]> {/iw_perl}"><img src="images/logo.gif" border = "0"/></a> </td>
</tr>

< td> < a href="{iw_perl} < ![CDATA[$concat]]> {/iw_perl}">< img src="images/logo.gif" border = "0"/>< /a> < /td>
< /tr>

The first item (inconsistant quotes) I will assume is a typo in your post and not your actual code - though you should probably double-check.

The second item (href tag) should be written as:
href="{iw_value name='concat'/}">...

Use the iw_perl tags to create variables and set their values and such, use iw_value tags to access those values later on.
