In hindsight, researching how the logic cycle works may have been a quicker option. Hard to tell.

Subject: Re: INTEGER & VARCHAR() on I-specs
" I'm wicked comfortable ...” - but that is the problem Buck. Maintainability should not rely on the skills of one person.
I stopped using the cycle when a) I found that I was fighting it more than it was helping and b) When it took 5 - 10 times longer to educate new programmers in how to modify complex cycle programs than if it had been written using “normal” techniques.
Cycle is fine for genuine one-offs but beyond that I stay well clear.
Can’t help but wonder if the OPs original program couldn’t have been rewritten in less time than it took to research and fix the VarChar problem.
