Gunnar I get a forma is a reserved word. You need to add the v to your other set var. You have the strim looking at .vforma and I don't see where you are setting vforma The space at the end seems to drop with or without using the strim SET VAR vforma = 'ABCD ' SET VAR vforma = (strim(.vforma)) SET VAR vformc = (.vforma + 'C') Buddy

For years this code (simplified version) has worked from 2.11 up to
7.003 dos version of R:Base:
SET VAR forma = 'ABCD '
SET VAR formc = (.forma + 'C')
To distinguish a form used for add (enter) mode and change (edit) mode.
Today I changed the code to :
SET VAR forma = 'ABCD '
SET VAR forma = (strim(.vforma))
SET VAR formc = (.forma + 'C')
What settings have me to require the STRIM function? It is not a problem
I am just curious what made me require the strim today when I lived
without it for maybe 15 years
