Hello all,

I would like to use the PICTURE "@K" (to remove the existing entry in the
variable) and also PICTURE "!XXXXXXXXX" to make sure that the 1st letter is
always capitalised.  I know it's possible to change the capital letter after
the READ but is it possible to use both those PICTURE's

Thanks
Chris

Do you mean that "@K !XXXXXXXXX" doesn't work?  Never tried it but maybe...
