IMO, need to specify SET TERM before every block causes only irritation and nothing more.
 
More than 50% of all errors in the scripts that I prepare by typing relate to missing of this statement or specifying "^" and ";" in wrong order. Damn it!
 
IBExpert as most well-known IDE (and maybe starting point for almost anyone who begin to work with FB) does not require to specify them at all - so, it will be always borrow not to forget about these 'set term' for anyone who decide to 'switch' his scripts from IBE into ISQL.
Also, when we need to 'split' huge script with thousands of procedures into several parts, one need to add 'set term' at the start and end of each file.
 
If this atavism of 80s will gone, I will applaud during several hours.
