>I have a situation where I cannot get rid of all of my BREAK (Steel wire break point) OVERFLOW values. I have written an import and everytime it comes to the break field with ten asterisks **********, the program bombs and says "overflow". How do I correct the data that has all of the asterisks in them? When I look at how many asterisk there are in the field, it looks like 5 or 6, but when I do something like

str(), without a second parameter, will fill the expression to 10 bytes, so that is why you get the number 10.

I think this should work:
browse for break = 1/0
