Kevin,

The only other one that comes to mind is this;

SUBSTR() allows you specify a length longer than the string if SET TALK is ON, but if SET TALK is OFF then it generates an Attempt to read past end of string error. So;

lcString = "ABC"
SET TALK ON
?SUBSTR(lcString,2,3) && No error BC is displayed
SET TALK OFF
?SUBSTR(lcString,2,3) && Error "Attempt to read past end of string"
