Because your string is too long. A is 3 characters. B is 3 characters. "xxx" is 3 characters. When you assign " " clipped to A, it gets padded with blanks, out to 3 characters. CHAR variables are always padded to their defined length. You can't add a 3-character string to another 3-character string and assign the result to a 3-character string. (Well, you can, but you did say -anyerr.) June -- june_t@hotmail.com Grounded in Palo Alto, living on Oreo's
