Hi Michael,

Hmmm...doesn't seem to work...gives me a compile error. Odd though...it
knows the %len and the %decpos of variable a at compile time.

%len() is an actual function that gets run at runtime.  I believe that the
reason for this is that you can put variable-length data in it.

For example, %len(%trimr(foo))... this can't be done at compile time
because the length of a trimmed string depends on it's contents, which
obviously can change at runtime.

But, by assigning %len() to a named constant, that forces it to be a
constant number that's known at compile time.   that's why my example
works...

This has been discussed elsewhere.

Cheers! Hans
