Add two digit to first of another digits

Question

I have some tables in SQL and I want to add two digit (the two digit is a fixed number that is 13 ) to the first of all numbers in a some columns. I used this script but unfortunately it doesn't work accurately:

for example I want to change 991105 to 13991105.

my script is as follow:

use SKraseh;
UPDATE tblOrder SET tblOrder.DateReceived = 13 & [DateReceived]
WHERE (((tblOrder.DateReceived)<>0));

Answer 1

If DateReceived column in int, then:

update tblOrder 
set DateReceived = '13' + cast(DateReceived as varchar(max)) -- or: concat('13', DateReceived)
where DateReceived <> 0
