Re: LEFT Error (Or PICNIC Error...) REFORMATTED

EVAL      @IPTRIM = %SUBST(IPAddress:1:%LEN(%TRIMR(@IFC)));

 Thanks again,

Larry,

It looks like the compiler is trying to tell you that the index into the array [LEFT is an array, right?] is invalid. Rather, wouldn't it be:

     EVAL   IPT2 = LEFT(LN)

I mean, you can't subscript an array with an alpha field, just 'numberic' fields.

If LEFT is a subprocedure, wouldn't the comma be a colon?

OK This is driving me freeking nuts. What is wrong with this eval statement?

IPT1 and IPT2 are 15 character alpha fields. LN is a 2.0 numberic field.

The errors are from the compiler.

             EVAL      IPT2 = LEFT(IPT1,LN)

*RNF0604 20 a The token is not valid; token is ignored.
*RNF0312 20 b A right parenthesis is expected but is not found.
*RNF5377 20 c The end of the expression is expected.


PLEASE tell me whats wrong or just hit me!!

Yes that's a comma above the 'a'.
