What you may want to do is create a function like this:

function TextmergeX(lcString)
return CHRTRAN(TEXTMERGE(lcString+CHR(0)),CHR(0),"")

Then do a search adn replace in all your source code

>>>Is there a know problem with TEXTMERGE()?

>>Yes. Under some situations, VFP doesn't add a terminating CHR(0) to the string. If additionally, the string is stored at the end of an allocated memory block, a function in the MSVCRT runtime (strstr) accesses invalid memory. This attempt results in an exception raised by the Windows memory management. To fix this issue, you need to add CHR(0), as Tom mentioned, but also remove it afterwards:
