Good Question Gordon! I didn't read the right manual, and find the UPSHIFT FUNCTION. As you are probably aware, the UPSHIFT FUNCTION is in the appendix of the manuals. Of course, had I read the index at the back of the book it would have been apparent. So I'm guilty of not RTFM... :-) At least I can go to the beach and wax philosophical about it. :-) Maybe one saving grace to my blunder is that you can set the string length to any length you want with my version. The INFORMIX function limits the length to 512 characters--at least in the older version. So it might not be a total loss...They can even co-exist... Better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all. --whoever :-) Tim http://www.gate.net/~tschaefe
