I inserted STRING ResidenceZipcodes
(A5). in the code and the error message went away and this new variable did get all the digits beyond 5 truncated.
What confused me is that
the original ResidenceZipcode showed on the variables table to be a string variable. I assumed that the source variable, not the resulting variable is what had to be a string variable
and that it would make the resulting variable automatically a string variable too. I am a former SAS programmer, and that is how it was in SAS.
Thank
you very much for the help.

Unless it was your intention re-assign to ResidenceZipCode, you need to declare the variable as a string: STRING ResidenceZipcodes (A5).
