Description
Require positive first and a strictly larger second, join them with separator, and mark consecutive only when second equals first + 1.
Catalog identifiers and labels follow local formatting conventions. Splitting or recognizing a token's shape preserves structure without establishing that its identifier or classification is valid.
Require positive first and a strictly larger second, join them with separator, and mark consecutive only when second equals first + 1.
When to use this tool
Use Issue Combination Two Number Label when you need one explicit catalog-label parsing or formatting step.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter first, second, separator. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label, consecutive. Inspect consecutive before interpreting the associated values.

| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| first | First value or boundary under the stated formula. | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| second | Second value or boundary under the stated formula. | Required. Safe integer. |
| separator | Separator | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Label | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| consecutive | Consecutive | Required. Boolean. |

"input": {
"first": 3,

"separator": "/"
},
"output": {
"label": "3/4",
"consecutive": true
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The separator can be arbitrary; no serial issue range expansion or publication verification is performed.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the cataloging scheme and source record before assigning semantic meaning or a filing order.
