If you append char(255) does that "stick"? Otherwise I would be tempted to substitute another character for a spacebar -- some other (char(xxx)) and then when you're done do a SRPL to change it to a space. Like: SET VAR vString = (SRPL(.vString, char(xxxx), ' ', 0))
Haven't tried it, though ... Karen > Yes I have done set var vtext = (.vtext+'whateverletter') and this works, > but how do I add a space like Tom Hart, it seems to truncate the space and > return TomHart. > >
