[RBASE-L] - Re: Syntax Problem Solved

I don't know if it's an eagle eye, more like live and learn.  The very first database I ever worked on was one to keep track of donations for a non-profit group.  At one point, an older volunteer was entering much of the information.  Original typewriters did NOT have a 1 key, the L was used in lowercase for a 1.  She was used to using the L and entered all zipcodes that way.  Since bulk mailing required sorting by zipcode, it was important that information was entered properly.  It took me hours to figure out why the addresses weren't sorting correctly.  So now...it's one of the things I can keep an "eye" on...

And to add to this, Dawn had the eagle Eye... the L was the reason I was misdirected.  Once I figured that, I began to think of what I did Saturday, and that was re-codelock it with 7.5.    Codelocked it with 6.5++ and all was well.

Thanks to all,
Turns out the problem was I used 7.5 to codelock an old file. (one that can only run on 6.5++ and previous)  When I went back and re-codelocked it with 6.5++ all was well.

Good morning,
  I had some older code fail today, and I can't see why. Can anyone see this?

Setup:  Rbase 6.5++ Windows



PRINT  job_rpt  WHERE  jobnum = .whval0

fails where

PRINT  job_rpt  WHERE  jobnum = "18074"

works fine.

The variable whva10 is Text, Quotes are ".  What is the difference, and why could this just start failing this morning with no changes to the database that I know of?
