No, my idea is to try: SET VAR tdvPrintReportCode = "(CALL DoReportCode())" -- note extra parens. SET VAR vx = &tdvPrintReportCode Because the CALL is being done on the right side of a SET VAR statement, R:Base should "pass" the command as a SET VAR, not a CALL command. You may have to do: SET VAR tdvPrintReportCode = " = (CALL DoReportCode())" -- note extra parens. SET VAR vx &tdvPrintReportCode to avoid having the & immediately after the equal sign. -- Larry
