One solution is MAXV = DCOUNT(FXI,@VM) FOR I = MAXV TO 1 STEP -1 IF FXI1,I = '' THEN DEL FXI1,I NEXT I This handles embedded nulls as well as leading and trailing nulls. This would also give you a value if there are associated fields that would need to be removed.

Re: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field
We've long had a strip nulls subroutine we use to do this sort of thing. You'd have to write a program to select the records, read, strip and write out the data.

Are you 'eating' someone else's data with it - like doing lookups against a web service call? Or are you using it to 'serve' data to others? Rocket says you can do this, but I can't see how it would work offhand and would like to know the scenario. How complex have you found it and how stable? Too complex, not sure about stability. I am following someone on c.d.p's lead from 2006 and using curl. I have also used wget in the past for a dictionary items to do a filecheck on web images. You can use wget in --spider mode and it will just give you back an http 200 if the file resolves, but will not actually download it.

Re: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field
Garry, Since you described a simple situation, I'll provide a simple solution. FXI = 1ýý DCOUNT(TRIM(FXI,@VM),@VM) should return 1.
