How to append a variable to a string in lotus script

Question

In lotusscript. How do I add a variable to a field name? i.e I have

j=1
getitemvalue("Fieldname"+"j") 
j=j+1 
if j = n then j=1 and Loop

So ideally if I put this in a for loop I want to populate fieldname1, fieldname2,...etc. What is the correct syntax for this?

@D.Bugger: Yes right, thats the "lazy" way as &- operator does an implicit type conversion... Though I like the explicit method more... — Torsten Link

You need to convert the value of the variable to a string using the cstr function and then append.

doc.getItemValue("field name" + cstr(j))
