[Talk] How can I append text to a report column?

I' m writing a script and using the Report feature in BW to report back any 
errors. I went into the Configure Report routine and added all the fields I 
will be using in the script and also added two other fields called " Errors"  
and " Warnings" . In my script, I am writing the warnings and errors I 
encounter back to these columns.

Lets say my data looks something like this:

PtName, ProcedureCode1, ProcedureCode2, ProcedureCode3, ProcedureCode4, 
ProcedureCode5,
John Doe, 251000,251304,251567,251796,251506
Jane Doe, 251678,251345,251765,251667,251677

Okay. so I' m entering the first procedure code and I get this error: " Error - 
 Procedure Code Not Defined"

I want to write that error to my report and continue. .so I use this command:
D(" Errors" ) = " Procedure Code 1 not defined."

Then I continue on with the script and I get this error when I get to Procedure 
Code 4 I get this error: " Error -  Procedure Code Not Defined"
So I write the error to the report like this:
D(" Errors" ) = " Procedure Code 4 not defined."

The problem with this is that the Procedure Code Error for Procedure Code 4 
overwrites the Procedure Code Error for Procedure Code 1. Is there any way to 
just append these together?

I know I could create multiple fields in report configuration tool to 
accommodate all the errors, but is just a simplified version of the script I' m 
doing, and being able to append the text would work much better for me. Any 
idea on how to do this?


Thanks in advance!
