I think I am losing my mind at 4:00 am.

I have an array aTest[1000]

atest[1] = "   Hello"
atest[1] = alltrim(atest[1])
? atest[1]
Hello
? len(atest[1])
5
? lower(atest[1])
hello
* BUT
? left(atest[1],3)
[blank]
? left(atest(1),4)
   H

Always the left functon on any array member is 4 chars off. Am I dreaming this?

Thanks
