Hi All,

Just a style question.

The "standards" here say to always use a Data Structure to parse a field,
yet I think it's more explanatory, at the line of code view, to %SubSt the
information out.

Are there any arguments one way or the other, besides readability? Speed?
Data integrity?

Thanks for your time,
Capt.j
