Hi,

I run a report and get a cursor and one of the fields (mMessage) is a memo field that contains something like this:

'Customers in the list are being evaluated, the Customer Name is '+RTRIM(cName)+' and is active'

where cName is another field in the cursor. The string is actually much bigger but I made it smaller for the example.

So in my report I add a field and in the expression I write 'EVAL(mMessage)' and this is when it gets funky.

First, the example above works, but if I move the RTRIM() command to another place like this:

'Customers in the list '+RTRIM(cName)+' are being evaluated, the Customer Name is and is active'

then I get an "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword", furthermore if I just do a straight string:

'Customers in the list are being evaluated, the Customer Name is and is active'

I also get the same error. Why would it work with the first example and not the other 2?

Thanks.
