Subject: Character data returned from &STR
Hi
Is there anyway to check that &STR converted the variable in
question to valid characters
After the &STR if do a compare in which case the variable had an '*'
and I am getting "expression with operators out of sequence
Joe,
This is one of the beauties of CLIST, you have to &STR everything. So
if you're trying &A = &STR(&INPUT), then &B = &A, that doesn't work.
&STR is not persistent. So you need &B = &STR(&A) as well. Welcome to
CLIST.

Tom Conley
