hi,
for some reason when i am doing this:
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<title>&mytitle</title>
-HTMLFORM END
-*where &mytitle is "apples"

i get 000006apples
i don't want the length suffix ("000006" part), how do i not show that?
i remember finding a post on how to fix this issue, but i can't remember how it was done and i searched the forum but can't seem to be able to find the post.

Did you -READ this variable from an output file with AnV field? If that's the case use -READFILE to instead of -READ.

System: Windows / AIX / Linux
Output: Mostly HTML, with some PDF, Excel and Lotus(!)

Or -READ .&X.A6. Before your .&RealVariable.A#. and ignore the value of &X.
