well, if you promise to get home in time for `licht benching` :-)
sometimes when i have complicated variable assingnments I use DEFINE 's.
so instead of something like:
lcVar = str(field1)+substr( field2, at("-",field3))+transform( val( lcVar1,"99.999")
insert into tbl01 (field5) value (lcVar)
i would do:

#DEFINE VALUE_NEW str(field1)+substr(field2,at("-",field3))+transform(val(lcVar1,"99.999")
.
.
.
   insert into tbl01 (field5) value (VALUE_NEW)
.
.
.
#UNDEF VALUE_NEW
