where prxmatch('/^3[47][1236789].*/',put(cm13,13.))
What does the above prxmatch do?
Try strip(put(... adjusting parantheses to match
The format is putting out a string of 13 characters but the leading characters are blanks. So the substr is returning ' '
It means the first digit(at the beginning of the string) should be 3 ,the second digit shoud be 4 or 7 . the third digit should be 1 or 2 ...........
The hat(^) means not to include right?
I am afraid not. ^ here is to match beginning of line; [^abc] is to match a character not in the brackets.

Where as with PRX I'm getting some records.
