I have found a strange problem with the JBASE SELECT command. It
will
not find ID's with an X in them.
For example edit these ID's into any file (create a file called
TEST.FILE first if you don't want to edit a real file).
1234X5678
I3K3X000230
Now do this select...
SELECT TEST.FILE WITH @ID LIKE ...1234X5678...
Please read the manual for UNiVerse style pattern matching. The
problem is that Universe was very sloppy and shoddy with that sort of
stuff - it would work haphazzardly or not, so it is impossible to make
an exact duplicate of their bugs. However, the specification nnnnX
means a sequence of nnnn hexadecimal characters. Avoid like and use
SELECT TEST.FILE = "[1234X5678]"
