Hi,
 
Ok, I know, I'm old fashioned.
I just use 'MOVE'  (and have no problems).

Are you asking for a routine that will allow you to fit an 11-digit number
into a 10-digit field? If so, there's no routine for that...

If not, what would you like to happen when you try to assign an 11-digit
number to a 10-digit field? I'm not clear on what the desired result is.
