Use an empty string instead of null.. SET V vtexttofix = (SRPL(.vtexttofix,.vlf,'',1)) SET V vtexttofix = (SRPL(.vexttofix,.vcr,.'',1))
and since it is a single character you can do: SET V vtexttofix = (SRPL(.vtexttofix,.vlf,'',0)) SET V vtexttofix = (SRPL(.vexttofix,.vcr,.'',0)) And you should update your syntax to: set var instead of set v RStyle will appreciate it too... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael J.

I tried this... SET V vlf = (CHAR(10)) SET V vcr = (CHAR(13)) SET V vnull = NULL SET V vtexttofix = (SRPL(.vtexttofix,.vlf,vnull,1)) SET V vtexttofix = (SRPL(.vexttofix,.vcr,.vnull,1)) But when I try that, my vtexttofix ends up being a blank. How do I do it? Mike
