Razzak,
I'm using R:BASE 2000 for Windows 1.864xRT03
Your sample: CHOOSE vPick FROM #LIST .v1
work OK with all fonts (ANSI, OEM, COURIER, SYSTEM)
using the FORMATTED option or not.
The problem occurs with a column in a table. My command
CHOOSE vPick FROM #VALUES FOR (textcolumn), textcolumn FROM mytable
return the value into vPick without leading blank.
I've tried that with all type of fonts and with and without FORMATTED
option.
May I send a little database for sample to RDCC ?
Best Regards
Daniele
