this code in the formula is behaving weird........

Problem: Whenever I replace the value of VarIssuer1 with the value of {stp_cHoldingsPDF;1.issuer1} it runs smoothly but when I run this I get the following error

Error :"A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array"


//Formula issuer_part

Local numbervar LengthIssuer1;

Local stringvar VarIssuer1:={stp_cHoldingsPDF;1.issuer1};

Global stringvar array Issuer1_part:=['','','','','',''];

//partition for issuer1
Local numbervar i:=1;
Local numbervar j:=1;
Local numbervar l:=0;

LengthIssuer1:=Length(VarIssuer1);

While j<= LengthIssuer1 do
(
If j+24 > LengthIssuer1 then
(
Issuer1_part:= mid(VarIssuer1,j,LengthIssuer1-j+1);
j:=j+24;
i:=i+1;
exit while;
);
If (mid(VarIssuer1,j+24,1)=&quot; &quot and (j+24 < LengthIssuer1 ) then
(
Issuer1_part:=mid(VarIssuer1,j,24);
j:=j+25;
i=i+1;
);
If (mid(VarIssuer1,j+24,1)<>&quot; &quot and (j+24 < LengthIssuer1 ) then
(
For l:=j+24 to j step -1 do
(
if mid(VarIssuer1,l,1)=&quot; &quot; then
(
Issuer1_part:=mid(VarIssuer1,j,l-j+1);
j:=l+1;
i=i+1;
exit for;
);
);
);
);

The second line in your formula supplied IS setting VarIssuer1 to the value of {stp_cHoldingsPDF;1.issuer1}:

Local stringvar VarIssuer1:={stp_cHoldingsPDF;1.issuer1};

Perhaps you're getting a 0 or null value somewhere, or perhaps you supplied the wrong formula?
