RE: Assigning the actual length of a variable length field.

Not tested but off the top of my head...

Couldn't you just use substring?
mydata = %subst(data:3:datalen); 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Matt - adding the null to the end of the string did the trick. My output

file is now 1k. 

Now I just have to get the (first) two bytes representing the actual 
lenght out of the data itself.

Thanks!
