Are you using the expression...

Left(cursorname.lcDayname,3) + "..."

...in the report field? If not, give it a try.

Also, be careful with your CDOW(ldDate) as lcDayName... unless CDOW() is returning a padded character then you will want to use...

PADR(CDOW(ldDate),9," ") as lcDayName

...this will keep Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from potentially being truncated in the cursor result set.


>in the cursor running the report, a character field is selected by "Select .... ,CDOW(ldDate) as lcDayName, ...etc."
>
> In the report, it is a text box with the format to nearest character and ellipsis and expression is cursorname.lcDayname
