Issue with Computed Column - PB12.5

Greetings All,

Not sure if I am denoting a computed column correctly, but I have tried the following two syntaxes:

char(50) as memo

char(50) as memo2

It works in that I get a column called memo or memo2.  But each row in the datawindow has this column populated with the number 2.

I can't figure out where '2' is coming from.

Essentially, I just want a 50 character field that someone can type notes into, and then I will read it save it elsewhere.

Thanks for any pointers!!

Paul
