Yea, someone jacked up the SET EMOWIDTH command!
Textmerge stuff seams to work around this:
if before you were doing:
? lcStr1+lcStr2
try:
set textmerge on
\<
><>
or
\<>
>I did but VFP set the memowidth to 1024 and says it wont allow the ? to exceed 256 characters. I need to create a 303 col wide text document.

>>Yes, it treats it like a memo field. You can SET MEMOWIDTH TO 6000 to give yourself some room.

>>>Im using VFP 5.0 to output data to a text file for a mainframe to read in. The line gets all out of whack and breaks up after i add fields making it longer than 254 characters. IS there a logical limit in vfp? Im sure_ i did very_ long file lines like this in fox for dos.
