Wrap digits around the field name before doing a substring.

SUBSTRING(DIGITS(field),1,5)...

Hmmm..

That's an issue...can I use a "format" type keyword so that:

00618014 will be 00618 not 61801
00618021 will be 00618 not 61802

Tim,

Is that number truly numeric? I did create a test file and used that.

And

the statement worked. Frankly I was a tad surprised that I could substr

a

numeric

You do realize that
123456
12345678
123457
Will all appear as CORP 12345. But a plain 1234 will appear as a new

CORP

If that's what you wanted then that's pretty cool.
