Let's play the old Sesame Street game: one of these things is not like the other. A. %subst(b : 2 : 2) = %editc(a : 'X'); B. sprintf(temp, "%02d", a); memcpy(b, temp, 2); C. MOVE A B The music starts... "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong. Can you guess which thing is not like the other, by the time I finish my song?" Which do you think someone would select? <smile> Joe P.S. Check it out with temporary variables: A. temp = %editc(a : 'X'); %subst(b : 2 : 2) = temp; B. sprintf(temp, "%02d", a); memcpy(b, temp, 2); C. MOVE A TEMP MOVE TEMP B
