Re: Long strings in CI ///

Thanks, Carl. I'm skeptical of BigChg being what I want,
because it expects you to DeFine the long text for the replace string.
This is to be done under program control, and if I'm going to use a

replacement string (which is the alternate way I've been doing it in some

There's a U2 routine called BIGCHG, which may help. It's been a
