>>Changing it to REPLACE (lcATAFName) WITH lcATAFValue has no effect. It seems to add blanks or do nothing. I checked both values in the debugger and their values are what I want them to be. I even tried it with a trim(lcATAFValue) in case the size of the string was too long and that didn't work.

Do you think it might be because I've converted a numeric to a character value??

lcATAFValue = STR(lnATAFValue)
