This confirm what I thought but just in case I asked the question in a hope for a better solution. So I will go the other way around. My SPRINTF format will be enclosed into a string. It's almost done now. My solution to the SPRINTF function is near the corner and will be submitted soon for evaluation and review. I must admit that I had to strip off some features of the original spec as I didn't see how they could be used at all or how they could even be useful. My original SPRINTF model was the one that is documented in the book Programming Ruby, The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide and finally it has been relaxed a bit to fit better with the one programmed by Bernie Schneider for REXX but is a bit richer too since he stripped off too much.
