Well, Gerard had a valid point in that evaluation under current ND should only occur where arithmetic is involved
Consider
numeric digits 1
z=12345678901234567
Say z
Say z-1
E:\>rexx 18b
12345678901234567
1E+16
E:\>regina 18b
12345678901234567
1E+16
and as said before x=left('abc',18) is not hurt by ND 1
