Hey, you obviously should not use this when the output field is seriously larger than the string. I would only do this when I otherwise had padded the string with blanks myself (or maybe still). When you put an 8-byte string into a 80 byte record, I'm tempted to see initialization as something separate. If someone changes the size of the output field a year later, I'd appreciate an assembler error more than weird problems at runtime. Rob
