David: The problem is the sequence is incorrect. You created the variables, concatenated the results then did the calculation. Move the concatenation part to come after the calculation.
To follow one variable thru (Line numbers on the left): 8 SET VAR vtcase1st INTEGER 9 SET VAR vtcase1sttxt TEXT 23 set var vtcase1sttxt = (CTXT(.vtcase1st)) 33 SET VAR vtxt1st TEXT 40 SET VAR vtxt1st = 'cases open 1st of the month = ' + .vtcase1sttxt 65 SELECT case1st INTO vtcase1st INDICATOR vtind1 FROM vutemp1 123 WRITE .vtxt1st If I may comment. You may simplify by combining actions: SELECT case1st INTO vtcase1st INDICATOR vtind1 FROM vutemp1 WRITE 'cases open 1st of the month =', .vtcase1st Selecting into variables will create them and type them the same as the data field.
