Greg, Change your sentence: [:CR:][:CR:][P] left a will dated <at [L]> <, [D]><[M]> To [:CR:][:CR:][P] left a will dated <at [L]> <[D]><[M]> TMG's [L] variable will end with a comma if there is more than one place level in the given place, so you shouldn't have a comma preceding the date. I think SS removes doubled-commas after processing the sentence, and that's why the SS output didn't show the two commas even though the sentence you used would create them. John
