Don ,

When using the put function one does not need the left or right functions simply use the buit in format tools of the put function:

put( acct_nbr_1 , 9. -L ) ; put( acct_nbr_1 , 9. -R ) ; put( acct_nbr_1 , 9. -C ) ;

Would the left(put(acct_nbr_1,9.) ) ; right(put(acct_nbr_1,9.)); Compress(put(acct_nbr_1,9.)," ");

Or combination be of help?
