Satya , It is probably a common way that the same programmer(s) wrote their code and not an actual command itself. Is SEL.CMD being set to some type of select? For example, does it say something like: SEL.CMD = "SELECT file WITH some_criteria" I am guessing it is an abbreviation for SELECT

Hi Satya, SEL.CMD is a variable. The := syntax is an append (: is concatenate). It is assigned and then appended to. Note that in this variant of BASIC the '.' can be used as part of a variable name. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun.

We don't restrict the language API features in the PE editions. By default, commands are case sensitive. You can compile with the -I flag to make it case insensitive. Try compiling the following to confirm all is okay: $INCLUDE INCLUDE UDO.H ret = UDOCreate(UDO_OBJECT, handle) ret = UD
