Ok, apparently I have teh dumb today

I'm trying to create a table structure in a program by building a list and then issuing the command
Create table Table1 &FieldList

and I keep getting a 'syntax error'.

I'm building based of off values in a particular table column

mflist = "'" + '(SCN C(7),'
i = 1
do while i <> 100
  i = i + 1
  if empty(idno)
    skip
    loop
  endif
  if i = 100
    mflist = mflist + 'F' + alltrim(idno) + ' c(1))' + "'"
  else
    mflist = mflist + 'F' + alltrim(idno) + ' c(1), '
  endif
  skip
enddo
sele 0
create table Table1 &mflist

I'm putting an 'F' in front of the 'idno' fields because the value is a number (character)

Now, I can go into the command window and say

mflist = '(scn c(7), f200183 c(1), f9000091 c(1))'
Create table Table1 &mflist 

and it works just fine.

Anyone see anything that I'm missing?
