Field Comparision

[gcw1]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out away to compare 2 variables... if they are the same do one thing... if they are different do another thing. The problem is that if the fields are the same for the first 4 characters in the string it doesn't recognize any differences after that for some reason. Is there a way to get around this?

Also how do I set a specific character size in a field on a screen? I'm positive it can be done, can't remember what the format was.

Thanks

Glenn

Ok i've figured out the first part. when the screen opens I use SET EXACT ON.

I had the same problem and SET EXACT ON was the answer. There is, however, another possible solution and that is to use the == operator.
