The localization audit has stumbled across a message related to the ij EXPECT command. I don't understand this command so I don't know what to tell the translators. The command is not otherwise documented and is a NOP unless the undocumented ij.expect property is set to true. I am unable to make any sense of the header comment for this command in the ij grammar:

"Will eventually detect the lines that the strings are without special literals, but for now this is expedient (except for the doubling of quotes...)

Used to test the previous statement's output. Note that ij must be in "expect" mode to use this statement, otherwise it is just ignored. This is due to the overhead of tracking the prior statement's output."

The command and the ij.expect property do not appear in the documentation for Cloudscape 3.5. It seems that:

1) The command was added after IBM acquired Cloudscape.

2) The command was disabled (by not being documented) at least by the time that Derby was open-sourced.

Does anyone know what this command is for and whether it is still needed?

Thanks,
-Rick
