Hi Juan,

E should be the length of date to extract. It looks like you think it's the
end position. I did the same, then read the manuals :-)

S+E-1 must be <= %LEN(data).

On the any other syuggestions...
I would map it into an array in the D specs - no Calc specs at all

However, your 'S' value of 983 suggests that it it not into 20 100 byte
sections, but 20 + up to 100 byte sections, breaking off where there is a
blank (or something like that). Maybe someone can suggest a c function.

Cheers,
        Martin

Subject: %subst is there a limit???



Hello all,
I am doing a %subst function, but i get an error, need enlightenment.

C                   Eval      Line = %SubSt(data:S:E)

Length or start position is out of range for the string operation (C G D
F).

S = 0983. and  E = 1082.

Is this message referring to E?
What is the largest value i can have?

I need to Subst a field of 2000 char into fields of 100, any other
suggestions?/

TIA.
