Hi Sergey,
That is pretty much what I thought but it didnt appear to work as implemented so far <g>

In the report field I call a function 'myfunc(file.memo)' which does execute.
The function takes the 'parameter pMemo' and equates a new variable to it 'dlcwork = pMemo'.
Then I 'STRTRAN(dlcwork, '##CUSIP##', 'TESTING')'
When the 'return dlcwork' is sent back as a result the printout still shows the ##CUSIP## instead of 'TESTING'.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!


>You can use Strtran function.

lcMemo = "Dear So and so, your ##CUSIP## is being called on ##CALLDATE##."
>lcCusIp = "Something"
>lcCallDate = DTOC(DATE())
>? STRTRAN( STRTRAN( lcMemo, "##CUSIP##", lcCusIp ), "##CALLDATE##", lcCallDate )
>
