Terry,

There is a limit on the string length. But it should not give you the syntax error.

At least this works for 1000 "and"s:

CLEAR
ll="hi = .t."
FOR ia=1 TO 1022
	ll= ll +" and .t."
ENDFOR
?LEN(ll)
&ll
?hi

>Is there a limit on the number of AND conditions in a logical expr. I use the code below. It was operating fine till I I had to add another 6 conditions. Now the compiler highlights whole lot and just says "syntax error". I enclose the code just in case any of you dead-eye Dicks can see a typo or whatever (it all colour codes OK in the editor)
