Phil/Stephen,

Thanks for your help!  I never understood what the -1 meant when dealing
with characters.

Appreciate your quick responses!

Try "char 1 to -1 of tdata".

char -1 is the last char
char -2 is the next-to-last char
and so on.

This is probably a very stupid question..

I am trying to extract a substring from a variable and am unsure how to
determine the last character...

I tried...
put char 1 to last character of tdata into tsubstring
...but this fails.

Thanks for any help!
Warren
