Perhaps, I do not know how to print a long variable.  If I had
a variable MyFirstName and wanted to print its content, I normally
place it in a regular dummy variable fn and then place *fn on form
or report.

How do you print a long variable?  Can you do *MyFirstName?

If you print it the same way I do, then my code covers it just
the same ...


Jose,

You are correct.  You cannot directly print a long variable by placing
in on a report or form.  You must stuff the contents of the long
variable in a short variable and place that short variable on the report
or form.

Regards,

Scott
