Hans,

I notice in your FOR loop you are evaluating the length, %len(source), each
time through the loop.
is it necassary to call the bif each time? ... I notice Cozzi is doing the
same thing.

Joe: If you're concerned about performance, then do some performance testing on the alternatives.

But in this case, storing the length in some integer variable wouldn't buy much since %LEN(SOURCE) is not a performance hog. It simply does a load of the first two bytes of the character varying variable.

Cheers! Hans
