Assuming that v1 is defined as a string of 2 characters, v2 is a number of 3 digits and v3 is a string of 5 characters :

id ## v1 __ v2 ### v3 _____

do put this in the .CHK entry for V2 (using the edit button or the editor):

V2 if v1 = . then v3 = " " + v2 else v3 = v1 + v2 endif END

You will want to see if this works for the case where you only enter one character in v1 or less than 3 digits for v2 That is, for v1="A" and v2 = 21, do you want v3 = "A 21" or "A21" or "A 021"? Any of these can be handled, but will need more IF statements.
