OK! So I ended up using the hybrid that Joe posted. I am still putting together the testing environment and I'll report back if it doesn't work....

Thanks for all the suggestions! I felt better that it wasn't quite as simple or easy as I thought (given the posts).

If you have a field the following field:
FIELDA = "1234 "

And you want to put 89 at the end to give a value of "1234 89", then saying EVALR FIELDA = '89' is not going to do it.

All of the substring solutions appear fine. I was just taking issue with Vern's statement to ignore using the substring functions and simply do plain EvalR (as per his example).

All of these solutions will, as far as I can see. If they don't the result won't be as sought. Do you really care that the field is momentarily blank, since there's no chance to intercept it in that condition? Or maybe I don't understand your objection.

However the OP wanted to retain data that is in the result field.
Eval or EvalR will clear the field before assigning the value.
