Concatenate a string and number and compare that with another string in awk script

I have below code inside my awk script

Code:
if ( $0 ~ /SVC IN:/ )
  {
    svc_in=substr( $0,23 , 3);
    if (msg_start == 1 && msg_end == 0)
     {
        msg_arr[msg_lnno++]=$0;
     }
  }
else if ( $0 ~ /^SVC OUT:/ )
  {
    svc_out=substr( $0, 9, 3);
      if (msg_start == 1 && msg_end == 0)
     {
        msg_arr[msg_lnno++]=$0;
     }
   }
 else if ( $0 ~ /^MSGEND/ )
  {
 if ( $svc_in$svc_out != "ABCABC" )
{
print .....
}
else
{
print ..
}
)

The issue here is it works fine when both in and out values are strings and gets an error when one of them is a number.
My input file has diff combinations, how can we convert it when we get a number in any one value?

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
