Our HelpDesk software generates a Ticket# and I would like to include that number in the ticket. I know I'll need to declare the variable but I'm getting stuck (and frustrated) on how to insert the variable into the message. In the message, this is what I have.

@message='Thanks for contacting the HelpDesk. Your ticket# is'+@ticket+' and we'll be contacting you shortly.'

I'm receiving an error message regarding the syntax of the '+' near @ticket.

Any advice?? Many, many thanks.

Tony"
