Glad to see you had such a positive experience with PPL. I've been working with it for quite some time and I really like it. I can't wait for the 1.0 release :D As for COBOL, I use it in my job today (for web development, no less), and I'm ONLY 33 :roll: Assembler on a c64 is something I never tried, though (BASIC was the extent of my willingness to program back then).

Hi directdance,

I was looking at your assignment statement and then at what worked for you. It gave me the impression that you were expecting to sum the array B$ starting at element 0 for a length of 2 elements.

Is that what you were trying to do? Is this a COBOL thing?

Welcome to PPL.

hdatum$[0,2] should work with strings too. It should give you the first two letters of the string hdatum$, I will do some tests here to make sure it's still working as it should.
