Thanks Buddy Dropping the v of the variable name was a simplificationI made for this mail, I did not realized it was reserved word, in production the variable name is vformc or vforma.
The thing is that space at end seems to matter under certain circumstances , but I cant figure what those circumstances are (Yet!) Up to today I always believed that spaces at the end did not matter Gunnar Ekblad Kontema IT AB H�stholmsv�gen 32 S-131 30 NACKA 070 545 50 38 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: Walker, Buddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r Walker, Buddy Skickat: den 8 augusti 2004 16:58 Till: RBG7-L Mailing List �mne: RE: [RBG7-L] - Puzzeled Gunnar I get a forma is a reserved word. You need to add the v to your other set var. You have the strim looking at .vforma and I don't see where you are setting vforma The space at the end seems to drop with or without using the strim SET VAR vforma = 'ABCD ' SET VAR vforma = (strim(.vforma)) SET VAR vformc = (.vforma + 'C') Buddy -----Original Message----- From: Gunnar Ekblad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun 8/8/2004 10:43 AM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Cc: Subject: [RBG7-L] - Puzzeled For years this code (simplified version) has worked from 2.11 up to 7.003 dos version of R:Base: SET VAR forma = 'ABCD ' SET VAR formc = (.forma + 'C') To distinguish a form used for add (enter) mode and change (edit) mode. Today I changed the code to : SET VAR forma = 'ABCD ' SET VAR forma = (strim(.vforma)) SET VAR formc = (.forma + 'C') What settings have me to require the STRIM function? It is not a problem I am just curious what made me require the strim today when I lived without it for maybe 15 years Gunnar Ekblad --- RBG7-L ================================================ TO POST A MESSAGE TO ALL MEMBERS: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Don't use any of these words as your Subject: INTRO, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, SEARCH, REMOVE, SUSPEND, RESUME, DIGEST, RESEND, HELP) ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: INTRO ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: UNSUBSCRIBE ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: SEARCH-n (where n is the number of days).
