Hi,

I hope that I will finally see an (environment variable?) option in jBASE, 
which will cause jBASE to abort when empty id is used in database operation. 
All cases with an empty id I have met so far were caused by software bugs. 
Moreover they were relatively hard to track  - usually it was complex flow to 
recreate problem. I do not see any reason in keeping 'empty id functionality' 
available for T24.
It would be nice if jBASE team could go forward and throw away some 
unnecessary, 'old days' things :)

Another issue that can be caused by buggy software is to put 
field/value/subvalue markers. Some jBASE commands will be later confused. jBASE 
gurus: throw these possibilities away please!

Kind regards
Pawel
