Hi all,

Here I go again. I have a select string:

SELECT CR_ACT.NXTACT_ST, ALIASES.NAME_ALIAS, ADDRES.STATE, CR_ACT.INITING_AC, ;
CR_ACT.DTE_NXTACT, CR_ACT.NXT_ACT, CONTACT.FIRST_NAME, CONTACT.LAST_NAME, ;
TITLE_.DESCRIP, CONTACT.PHONE, CLIENTNM.CLIENT_ID, ;
fixmemo(CR_ACT.ACTION_NOT) as action_not ;
FROM CR_ACT, ALIASES, ADDRES, CONTACT, TITLE_, CLIENTNM ;
WHERE ( CR_ACT.DTE_NXTACT >= CTOD("05/01/2005") .AND. ;
CR_ACT.DTE_NXTACT <= CTOD("06/01/2006") ) .AND. ;
.NOT. "CAN" $ RTRIM(UPPER(CLIENTNM.ACCT_STAT)) .AND. ;
UPPER(ALIASES.ALIAS_TYPE) = "MAIN" .AND.  ;
clientnm.client_id = "Foo" .AND. CONTACT.CLIENT_ID = CLIENTNM.CLIENT_ID .AND. ;
CONTACT.CLIENT_ID = ALIASES.CLIENT_ID .AND. ;
CONTACT.CLIENT_ID = ADDRES.CLIENT_ID .AND. ;
CONTACT.ADDRES_TYP = ADDRES.ADDRESS_TY .AND. ;
CONTACT.CLIENT_ID = CR_ACT.CLIENT_ID .AND. ;
CONTACT.CONTACT_ID = CR_ACT.CONTACT_ID .AND. ;
CONTACT.TITLE = TITLE_.TITLE_ ;
ORDER BY 5 ASC, 2 ASC

with the function:

FUNCTION fixmemo()
  PARAMETERS pcTablefield
  LOCAL lcfield
  lcfield = PADL("", 260)
  DO CASE
    CASE EMPTY(pcTablefield) OR ISNULL(pcTablefield)
      lcfield = PADL("", 260)
    CASE LEN(pcTablefield) < 256
      lcfield = PADR(pcTablefield, 260)
    CASE LEN(pcTablefield) > 256
      lcfield = ALLTRIM(pcTablefield)
  ENDCASE
  RETURN lcfield
ENDFUNC  && end of fixmemo()

and I still get the error "string is too long"

any ideas?

TIA
Beth
