Hi Patrik,

If you want RESULT to be fixed-length, simply remove the 'varying' keyword from the D-spec.

If it helps, i have the whole thing working on my machine, I could send you a save file.  Let me know.

I need "result" to be a fixed length string, so I can MOVE it into a DSPF field defined as 64A in the DSPF itself. Until now, I did not learn about how to properly handle conversion of VARLEN (database) fields to fixed-length DSPF fields and vice versa. If this is making any difference at all, because the string is supposed to be strictly 64 characters long, all the time.
