This field expression was created with a sequence of embedded IIF statements. Several new conditions were added to this field and expression became too large and did not fit into expression size limit. I was forced to create a function and move it to a procedure file. Since this application actually is very old and has a lot of complex procedures inherited from FP-Dos, it's difficult to find and risky to change anything in codes.
It's easy for me to create a cursor with report data, but it will go through a sophisticated chain of procedures with indexing and so on...

Thanks
