Here is the latest response from Rocket: The problem here is now with ICONV, but with the jBASE runtime.
There is a known problem where, *in the left side of the argument you cannot store the result of the function used with the variable on the right side of the argument.* Change your code to read: AMT = REC<4> + 0 NEW.AMT = ICONV(AMT,'MR2') CRT "AMT = " : NEW.AMT A<X> = NEW.AMT Um, holy crap! What!? That is kind of the WHOLE idea of a function!!! Sure hope this gets resolved soon.
