Hi Pete,

Try putting VALUE on the procedure's parm.

The problem is you're passing an expression, which probably isn't 120 characters, especially with a %trim in it.

I *think* it is complaining the the WriteLine procedure can't take a
variable but all the procedure does is fill a variable in the output
file. The idea is to write messages to the printer file about errors
and warnings. Can I not pass a variable parameter in this case?
