Rob, Duh! I probably should have looked a little closer. that's what I get for just glancing at code and assuming I knew what I was looking at. Thanks again. Rick Rob said: --------- 1. The '*' is not in the field length. It is in the field type. 'a' is alphanumeric, 'p' is packed, '*' is a pointer. 2. "based" means that the address of this field in memory starts at the pointer location. Thus $qzamt is stored in memory at the position set by the pointer @qzamt. The value of the pointer @qzamt is equal to the address in memory of the field qzamt1, as set by the INZ(%addr... function. An eval on one field will change the value of the other. I used to be pointer phobic. But once you get used to them they are quite handy. I especially like them in using list api's versus the QUSRTVUS api.
