Hi Jon,
Thanks for catching the varsize. I simply missed it.

No need for the Varsize if you do that Gary.
But why not use CONST and let the compiler do it for you?

How about this?
d ExtractSpecs pr
d LongString 32000a Options( *VarSize )
d LongString s 32000A Varying
d TEXT50 s 50A
...
LongString = TEXT50;
ExtractSpecs( LongString ) ;
...
p ExtractSpecs b
d ExtractSpecs pi
d LongString 32000a Varying
Thanks,

I've tried a couple of variations on the code snippet below, but this is
length variable. Once inside the ExtractSpecs proc, LongString shows the
value of TEXT50 in the first 50 columns, but is followed by "junk".
ExtractSpecs proc would "see" only the value in LongString up to the length
My (apparently incorrect) understanding of Options(*Varsize) is that the
of the variable passed to it. The compile fails if Options(*Varsize) is
not specified. Ditto if I used the VARYING keyword.
the first parameter and pass it as the second parameter.
My kludgy, hopefully temporary, workaround is to capture the length of
Ideas / advice / specific RTFM references appreciated!
