This validates something I do and I'm glad to see it! I had a consultant yell at me once for "taking the time" to add parenthesis and commas into commands that were written by someone else lacking those things. I knew someday that sloppy codewriting might come back to hit ME even though I hadn't written it. I will continue to monitor for 100% correct syntax!!
I think with the advent of mobile devices and texting, etc., future programmers will have issues with the concept of needing every single comma in its perfect place, no shorthand! Unless of course someone invents a programming language not requiring perfection.... Karen -----Original Message----- From: A.

Yes, the R:DCC (R:BASE Development Corner Crew) will always set things straight! Enjoy all privileges of communicating directly with the development team of R:BASE, and the unprecedented product support. Very Best R:egards, Razzak
