Create a GET COMBOBOX using a .dbf VAR, with a field size of 10
For the dropdown, create a list of items of various lengths.
Select, or type in, a long item that nearly fills the field: ie. HAPPYDAYS
Save the value
Now select a shorter value from the list, ie. SHORT
Save the selection.
The field does not erase the original saved value, but simply does a letter by letter replacement
Thus the value you now see is: SHORTDAYS
