concat 2 variables with newline
Hi All,

I'm a newbie here, i'm having proble concatinating my 2 variables. i tried na \n but it doesn't work.

ex.
var 1="YES,AGREE"
var 2="NO,DISAGREE"

expected output is:
YES,AGREE
NO,DISAGREE


i tried this

Code:
 var 3 ="${var 1} \n ${var 2}"

it outputs me YES,AGREE\nNO,DISAGREE

Please advise,
THanks,
