RE: EVAL(?)

But who would want that?  If I am changing '1234567890' to 'ABC'  I really 
should expect '        ABC', not 'ABC       ' shouldn't I?  Something has 
always seemed broken about that part of the Eval opcode.

You don't need to.  If your 10-character field ABC contains '1234567890' 
and
you perform a:
     C                     EVAL     ABC = 'XYZ'
then ABC contains 'ABC       '.  EVAL automatically clears the result 
field
for you.

I'm trying to pad a field with blanks while I put the value of one field
into
another using the EVAL opcode.

What extensions within the () can I use in the "EVAL()" ?

I was hoping to be able to use a "P" like the MOVEL(P) opcode.

Any suggestions?
