etext - Can elements in a CONCATENATION section be formatted using rpad and format_date functions

Summary

I have a requirement where an etext template has to be developed for a benefit carrier.

Every time I use a function such as decode, rpad etc, concatenated elements does not work. I have a simple concatenation section as shown below:

Does anyone know if this is possible

<DEFINE CONCATENATION>	CAT_LTD
<BASE LEVEL>	Benefit_Enrollment_Results_DG
<ELEMENT>	If Plan=’LTD’ THEN RPAD('456', 10, 'x') End If
<DELIMITER>	' '
<END DEFINE CONCATENATION>	CAT_LTD

It should work. I have used RPAD in concatenation it worked for me...may I know where you are facing issue?

It will be helpful if you can upload sample e-text rtf and xml file

Thank you, not sure what happened last week, but I'm able to get it working now.

Thanks again.
