----------------------------I must be missing something obvious so can any 
please explain what I'm doing wrong:

SET VAR v1 TEXT = 'Light,Dark'
SET VAR v2 TEXT = '|Blue,|Red,|Green'
SET VAR vCount INTEGER = 1
SET VAR v3 = (SRPL(.v2, '|', ( (SSUB(.v1, .vCount)) + ' '), 0))  -- that's a 
single space added
SHOW VAR v3

should give me: Light Blue,Light Red,Light Green
but actually gives me: LightBlue,LightRed,LightGreen
ie: no spaces.

If I put a hyphen, for example, in place of the space I get hyphenated results.

The obvious (to me) answer was to use a hard space (CHAR(0160)) but that causes 
me problems further on as a hard space is not equal to an ordinary space 
(obviously).
The solution for that is another SRPL to replace hard spaces with ordinary ones.

It just seems a long way around so am I wrong to expect var v3 to work?
 
Thanks for any help & regards, 

Alastair
