Re: input processing issues, solved

Ok I found an answer with no more blank time:
	collect %myvar count=8

I was abused by the "Scripting Bayonne" PDF where the syntax was:
	collect [var=&sym] [count=digits]

so I have always tested things like:
	collect var=%myvar count=8


I've also tried without success the following piece of code, %myvar
keeps a NULL value
	collect count=8
	read %myvar count=8


Thanks for the advice
