QUESTION:
I think this is simple, but for whatever reason I do not see it, I have a set field action in a filter that is supposed to take two fields (last name, first name) and combine them into one.

For example, Smith John should become Smith, John

I have it working with the set field below:

(($Recipient_Last _Name$ + ",") + " ") + $Recipient_First Name$

However it is putting the coma in the wrong spot. Instead of:

Smith, John?.it looks like Smith , John.. It is inserting a space between Smith and the Coma.

I just do not see the problem. Any quick thoughts?

1. is there a space at the end of the data in the last name field? if so you may want to remove it.
2. additionally try $last Name$+", "+$first Name$ instead of the $last Name$+","+" "+$first Name$

Most likely you have an extra space at the end of LastName field.
Try RTRIM() Function on LastName.

((RTRIM($Recipient_Last _Name$) + ",") + " ") + $Recipient_First Name$
