Probably just means it is turned off in ROS emulation. set jbase_field=true; if you want that behavior (and see if it crashes ;-).

Yep - this is why you have to be careful because it is only jBASE and one other emulation (might be ROS) that allow multiple characters.I was able to confirm the bug on NT, jBASE 3.5 but with a different outcome, Windows aborts the program and shows the dreaded: "... has encountered a problem and needs to close..." message.Right, well that explains that there is a hard and fast bug in the FIELD statement, and that is why your jBASEWORK was corrupt too with a certainty of about 90% ;-) JimLucian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Please read the posting guidelines at: http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE/web/Posting%20Guidelines IMPORTANT: Type T24: at the start of the subject line for questions specific to Globus/T24 To post, send email to jBASE@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe, send email to jbase-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
