Weird, this works.

cResult='astringwith45chars'

cTableName ='PRM1'+cResult
cTableString = ;
'create table '+cTableName+' ( '
cTableString = cTableString+' nEmpID n(16,0) , ' 
cTableString = cTableString+' cLastname c(64) ,  ' 
cTableString = cTableString+' cFirstName c(64) , ' 		
cTableString = cTableString+' tHireDate t(8) , ' 
cTableString = cTableString+' cIsTerm c(32) , ' 
cTableString = cTableString+' cNTName c(32) ' 
cTableString = cTableString+' )'		
? cTableString
&cTableString

But now I am stuck in macro substituion land.

How do I get out of that?
