Suggested new Feature for RBASE:

? So here is good new feature:

? In the RBASE data design scree it would be nice to have Automatic SQL 
generation features right from the structure
of the table, like 

?- generate complete SELECT INTO statement for all fields
?- generate UPDATE statement for all files
?- generate INSERT statement for all fields.

? The RBASE could spawn the notepad with the generated SQL.

I'm guessing that the intermediate value you're calculating in the expression 
is 
being incorrectly typed as NOTE.

Try

SET VAR vSubj VARCHAR = NULL
SELECT Subj INTO vSubj FROM PTSoap WHERE CustNum = 4545 AND PTSPID = 4701
SET VAR vSubj = (.vSubj + .vAdjDesc2 + 'Text Here')
UPDATE PTSoad SET Subj = .vSubj WHERE CustNum = 4545 AND PTSPID = 4701

Make sure NOT to put parens around the variable name in the UPDATE statement.

Does this help?? If not, is the error generated on line 3 or line 4 of the code?
