datatry2=transform(datatry,DIS=as.numeric(paste(datatry[,1],datatry[,2],sep="")))
It works like this !!
You understood perfectly well what I needed ;-)
Thanks to all that answered

Hi Magali,
I confess that I still not figured out what you want,
but try this:
datatry2=transform(datatry,DIS=as.numeric(as.character(paste(datatry[,1],datatry[,2],sep=""))))
bests

Sorry I forgot the subject in my previous post
Here is an example of data : province and district code of 4 locations
datatry=matrix(c(8,12,3,3,1,1,16,1),4,2)
colnames(datatry)<-c("PROCODE","DISCODE")
DISCODE is not unique for each location (there is a distrcit nb 1 in each
province)
I want to create a third column (DIS) which would contain a unique district
code for each location that would be the appended values of the province code
and the district code, and that would be a numeric value (not a character)
here is my try (thanks to Henrique Dallazuanna!)
DIS=rep(0,nrow(datatry))
datatry=cbind(datatry,DIS)
datatry2=transform(datatry,DIS=paste(datatry[,1],datatry[,2]));
However it creates a string, and the 2 codes are separated by an empty space,
which I didn't manage to supress using different values for arguments "sep" and
"collapse".
i'll try to see other options to concatenate 2 numeric values into a third one.
Thanks
