Monday, May 5, 2025 Tip of the Day: New PARSESEMI Setting Product: R:BASE 11 Build: 11.0.2.20415 or higher Section: Settings Keywords: PARSESEMI, Ampersand, Variable, Semicolon
Did you know you can control semicolon characters' parsing in processing ampersand variables? One of the R:BASE 11 features is the ability to stack multiple commands separated by semicolons inside an ampersand variable. However, if you are using an ampersand variable to build a command that utilizes a semicolon (GATEWAY with special separator character, PLUGIN with file name filters, etc.), the syntax would fail. The PARSESEMI setting has been introduced to control the parsing of semicolon characters in processing ampersand variables. The default value is OFF, which means R:BASE ignores semicolons in ampersand variables, where existing GATEWAY and PLUGIN codes will function as expected. If PARSESEMI is set to ON, you can use semicolons inside an ampersand variable to stack multiple commands. The "Dotted vs. Ampersand Variables" technical document from The Edge can help you understand the difference in variable use. >From The Edge: https://www.razzak.com/fte/ Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
