Hi Bill, David, all I'm getting the answers I want. (c: I'm glad it doesn't look like it's possible.
I should have explained myslef more clearly. I'm looking at it from a security point of view. I read this comic the other day, http://xkcd.com/327/ and wondered if there was a risk of malicious code insertion with our inhouse programs. For instance suppose there was a program like this (and it's been a while since I've programmed, so I hope you'll all get the gist of it!): >CRT "INPUT MEMBER NAME: " >INPUT MEM.NAME > >EXECUTE "SELECT CLIENT WITH MEMBER.NAME = '":MEM.NAME:"'" Innocuous enough. Now, assume for a minute the ";" delimiter worked like in unix. And suppose a malicious user, when prompted for MEM.NAME, entered: >FRED' ; CLEAR.FILE CLIENT ; CRT 'NOTHING >From what I can tell, this would execute a CLEAR.FILE on CLIENT. I would like to be sure that this kind of thing's not possible. So far, so good. (c: Thanks for your speedy answers. Penno Bill Haskett wrote: > > Penno: > > As far as I know, this won't work.
