CAST(" id#"+Alltrim(code)+" Name"+Alltrim(Name)+" Fname"+Alltrim(fname)+ " Level"+Alltrim(lcode)+ " Sec"+Alltrim(sec) as CHAR(200)) AS NewField;

If you have only one record in the result then yes, you could use the expression w/o CAST. But If you have more than one you SHOULD CAST() the expression to some value. That is because VFP define the length of the column based on the first record in result set, so if the first record contains narrowest expression all other records will be truncated.
