I am using the following to fill a dummy field for display in a brows lookup

IJ(78,*)=day<mid(mem(6),"1","60")&mem(20);IA=IJ;

What I wanted to happed is the value in field mem(20) to be at the right
side of the display.

The problem is that although I am reading the first 60 characters of mem(6)
[78 chr field in lookup file], this is what is being displayed:

04/05 pts husband called t    286

Full message

04/05/10 pts husband called to make pymnt in adv for 7/1/10.

Line should look like this;
04/05/10 pts husband called to make pymnt in adv for 7/1/10.  286  

Can anyone tell me why I am not getting all of mem(6) including any possible
blanks?

Do I need to bring this into a dummy field dm(60,*) first?  (no I haven't
test this yet)
