Re: Literal chopped off by varying when passed

I've compiled this code and when I run it things are fine.

EVAL pxpath:x

000F8396 94978195 A8619799 9684A483   - ..company/produc
A3000030 41800000 00000000 00001BF7   - t... Ø.........7

What you are showing in hex looks to me like what I would expect to be in
the variable, but with a zero length. It looks to me like something has
changed the length to zero. The previous value is still visible because when
you change the length of a variable length field, only the length bytes are
updated and the previous contents remain in place.
