I need to override some titles of parts that are released in a drawing BOM and I can't figure out the relation needed to do so. I tried creating a new parameter as shown below:


Code:
desc1 = " "

if exists("asm_mbr_partnumber")
     desc1 = &asm.mbr.nomenclature&asm.mbr.title1&asm.mbr.title2&asm.mbr.title3
endif

if exists("asm_mbr_partnumber")
     if asm_mbr_partnumber == "1234"
        desc1 = "NEW DESCRIPTION"
     endif
endif
It seems to be failing due to the multiple strings added together. What is the correct syntax for this?

You have not added the strings together and the parser thinks it is one long variable.
try this: desc1 = &asm.mbr.nomenclature + &asm.mbr.title1 + &asm.mbr.title2 + &asm.mbr.title3
