Re: it did the job

Hi, Peter

This is strange to me. I've _never_ had to put spaces after commas. Either
version of the substr you describe has worked. AFAIK, SQL doesn't care
about spaces - you put in as many as you want, or none at all, and it's OK.
I'm going to try a few things again, to verify this.

Could there be any differences with system language - US as against
Deutschland, etc.?

OTOH, who can argue with success?

Regards

Vern
