Re: varying output parameter

variable.

If your code is doing what I think it's doing ...... Personally I think
this would work better if you _returned_ the 1024 byte var len token rather
than use an "output" parameter (that's so RPG III doncha know <vbg>) and
used a token field length of zero to indicate failure to find one.  That
would immediately deal with your problem since the Eval would assign the
token to whatever size field you used.  You also have the advangtage that
the routine is more generic in that it can be used like so:

If deblock = 'xyz'
...... doi stuff
EndIf
