RE: SFL Display issue

How are you loading the display field?  Sounds like you are using
MOVE....try using MOVEL instead.

Or  
Eval  displayfield = %subst(myfield:1:17)


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Subject: SFL Display issue

I have created a subfile which lists out our top customers including
sales 
numbers....this is based upon a joined logical.

Due to space limitations I am having to trim the customer name from 25 
characters (PF field length) to 17 (subfile field length), however for
some 
customers whose name is longer than 17 it seems to be trimming from the 
leading end versus the trailing.

Is there a way to fix this so that it trims from the trailing ?


If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
