Hi Jim,

> Out of curiousity, Dave, is the 'bad' function deep within a .PRG or does it call another function that is deep within a .PRG?

There are 34 lines of code prior to the following, the first code just opens the tables etc.
The GetMSubS() UDF has some code and also makes one call to SUBSTR()

*———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
FOR lnRowNo = 1 TO lnClaimedRaces

SELECT Race

lnHorsesClaimed = MEMLINES(Race.mClaimed)

*———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

FOR i = 1 TO lnHorsesClaimed

lcLine = MLINE(Race.mClaimed,i)

IF NOT EMPTY(lcLine)

lcHorse = GetMSubS(lcLine,1,'< TO >')
lcTrainer = GetMSubS(lcLine,'< TO >','< FOR >','End of Start')
lcPrice = GetMSubS(lcLine,'< FOR >','','End of Start')

ENDIF

etc...
