Thanks All

Good advice,  but I hit a snag.

I had to change the code to this and it seems if .himher is Null then vtext3 is null too.

SET VAR vtext =  (SRPL(.vxtext,'[fname]',.vfname,1)
SET VAR vtext2 =  (SRPL(.vtext,'[heshe]',.heshe,1)
SET VAR vtext3 =  (SRPL(.vtext2,'[himher]',.himher,1)
SET VAR vtext4 =  (SRPL(.vtext3,'[xx1]',.vxxmpt1,1)
SET VAR vtext5 =  (SRPL(.vtext4,'[xx2]',.vxxmpt2,1)

That is the way I would do it.
It is far easier to read and debug.

Like Karen, I think you don't need to string them together. Won't the
following work?:

SET VAR vtext =  (SRPL(.vxtext,'[fname]',.vfname,1)
SET VAR vtext =  (SRPL(.vxtext,'[heshe]',.heshe,1)
SET VAR vtext =  (SRPL(.vxtext,'[himher]',.himher,1)
SET VAR vtext =  (SRPL(.vxtext,'[xx1]',.vxxmpt1,1)
SET VAR vtext =  (SRPL(.vxtext,'[xx2]',.vxxmpt2,1)

Hi

I am building form letters and need to do about 20 SRPL's. Is there
a better way or do I string 20 SRPL's together?
The example only has 5 SRPL's

SET VAR vtext = (SRPL((SRPL((SRPL((SRPL((SRPL (.vxtext,
'[fname]',.vfname,1)), '[heshe]', .heshe,1)),'[himher]', .himher, 1)), +
'[xx1]', .vxxmpt1,1)), '[xx2]', .vxxmpt2,1))

Thanks
Marc
