I have created a query that uses a left join. For reasons I don’t understand it will join two dissimilar length strings as if they are equal. An example would be:
Left column = "351-561"
Right Column = "351-561-35C"
Result = Joined as equal.
My workaround has been to right pad the strings to the same length. I don’t understand though why those two strings would be treated as equal.
Is there some mechanism in the syntax that would change that behavior?
D.
It looks like you may well need to use the
==operator in Visual Fox Pro
