import and dummy field length

[Dennis Malen]

I am on filePro 4.8.14R4 I am using the following import command:

Then: import ascii acc=/tmp/metrojob.wp r=\n f=\n

Then: a(1375)=acc(1);aa=mid(a,"589","32")

I am having trouble reading values over 1024.

aa=mid(a,"1222","32")

aa is empty.

Is there a limitation on the length of a dummy field and if so is there a 
way to get around that limitation?
