Hi Marcia,

TRANSFORM(string,"@T") have limits:

- not support CHR(0)
( C internal routine use z-string variable, and stop when found a /0 )

x='A'+CHR(0)+'B'
? TRANSFORM(m.x)==m.x,TRANSFORM(m.x)
? TRANSFORM(m.x,"@T")==m.x,TRANSFORM(m.x,"@T")

- trunc output to 255 characters

?LEN(TRANSFORM(REPLICATE("A",256),"@T"))

- not support memo

CREATE CURSOR tt (mm m )
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE mm WITH REPLICATE("A",256)
?TRANSFORM(mm,"@T")                 && memo
?TRANSFORM(SUBSTR(mm,1,255),"@T")   && memo
?TRANSFORM(rtrim(mm),"@T")          && C(255)
?LEN(TRANSFORM(rtrim(mm),"@T"))     && C(255)
