To all,

Can anyone tell me why this "function" (in Crystal Reports syntax) returns a blank?

LOCAL stringVar lcRetVal := "";
LOCAL stringVar lcSep := "";

IF Length(Trim({ipheader.QUALSURVEY})) > 0 and Length(Trim({ipheader.QSVCNAME})) > 0 then
    lcSep := ", ";

lcRetVal := Trim({ipheader.QSVCNAME}) + lcSep + Trim({ipheader.QUALSURVEY})

I've just spent most of the day beating down an incredibly trivial problem in this worthless piece of garbage (Crystal Reports) and I'm in my third hour on this one... I've pretty much had it.

To whom ever is kind enough to respond, I sincerely hope you've had a better (and more productive) day than I have.

Regards,
Thom C.
