Oh for the record, I do agree with Jon.  I too would prefer seeing
use of varying length character strings and %LEN() (as well as
procedures, descriptive long names, /FREE, etc.) in all published
examples, since those are available on the majority of machines and
are the preferred modern techniques.  Otherwise, your books will get
out of date *very* quickly as older machines are upgraded or
replaced.  You could always state in a footnote that CHECKR can be
used in older, unsupported releases.
