Are there edit limits on DECLARE GLOBAL?

[John Esak]

I, too, need to see all the code...  What shows here might be a couple
things.
But where are the declare globals and declare externs... And why not do the
final thing like this...

value="" {aa{Xvalue{ab { ""

And see if it produces anything.  I'm not sure, but I recall that uncast
vars default to a jl3ength of 256...  Your scneario of 200 a 25 character
string and a 7 character right justifited number... Doesn't max this out at
all.  Especially with the squish lefts in there... So I can't tell what's
happening without the full code and how the tables are called, etc. Then
I'll just try it and do whatever I can to debug it if it fails on any of my
systems.
