This goes into an endless loop for me. It is not stripping out the period so it just keeps looping.

tcName = 'Amerson, Jr., Harry L'

* Strip periods
DO WHILE AT('.',tcName) > 0
	CHRTRAN(tcName,'.','')
ENDDO

Oh, and I didn't look at the help, but the intellisense was pretty clear on the syntax. I may have missed something though. Sorry if I did, but I would really like some help here. Or maybe some suggestions on a better way to do it.
