Re: %subst as a result.

Tommy,

As to part 2 of the question....eval is a replacement operation no clear
> is needed prior to the eval.


Except that in this case, the %subst() is used on the left side so it only
clears those bytes of the result field.  So if the field had previously
contained longer data, you would have some residual bytes which would not be
cleared by the proposed equation.  If the field is only used for this
operation once, the default (ie previous) contents would be blank and all
would be well.
