Sorry for the duplication. I wasn't sure the message to the beta forum went.
There are some changes in how regex'es work in the last J9.04 beta
that will probably zing many.

I have been running the latest beta: Beta-j: commercial/2023-01-07T02:25:25
and have discovered some issues.
FIRST: changes in regex processing.
In j 9.03 the following works:
JNAME=: '[[:alpha:]][[:alnum:]_]*'
JNAME rxall 'anyjname'
+--------+
|anyjname|
+--------+
In the latest 904 beta we get:
JNAME rxall 'anyjname'
|this version of PCRE2 does not have Unicode support at offset 0
[[:alpha:]][[:alnum:]_]*
^
: regerror
| m 13!:8[12
I presume there is a new PRCE2 dll that must be distributed. If not,
this is a major change in how regex's work.
