This might work:
Assign the memo field a component id such as cZHoursCurr
SET VAR vLength INTEGER, vText TEXT, vMessage TEXT
GETPROPERTY cZHoursCurr TEXTVALUE "vText"
SET VAR vZHoursCurr = (.vText))
RECALC VAR
I don't think you need the REFRESHLIST, but ...

This code will do that when I first enter a field and all the other
EEP options except On Key Press :
SET VAR vZHousCurr = (SLEN(.vZHousCurrLivNote))
RECALC VARIABLES
PROPERTY vZHousCurr REFRESHLIST 'True'
vZHousCurr gives an integer which the user can see. Putting this code
in On Key Press simply adds characters but does not return a value.
Adding Saverow creates a long delay. Click to another field and
returning gives an immediate correct response since it is an Enter
EEP. I assume On Key Press fires whenever I hit a text key. I use On
Key Press regularly as part the Keyword process in EEPs to search
column data, never used it for text like this. What am I missing?
