Subject:      Retain statement varialbes length
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I seem to be having issues using the retain statement with variables
with a length over 8.  The variable is character 32.  How can I get a
variable over eight bytes in length to be retained using the retain
statement.
