This is a long shot, but have you checked this code with R:Code? Syntactically it looks good assuming your variables are correctly declared and typed. I was just wondering if there's a possibility of a <Tab> character or some other non-printing character embedded here somewhere. I've had users who like to save their R:Base code in MS Word. When they try to run their code it gives R:Base a major case of heartburn because of the embedded formatting characters. When you check the code with R:Code/R:Syntax it will strip out the hidden characters (if I understand correctly). If that's not the case, is there a possibility of any database corruption? Just some thoughts. Mike Ramsour c/o AK Steel 740-829-4340

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this code? I get an error "Invalid use of escape character like operator(716) Insert into no_150 + Sel * + from services + whe Unit = '102' and + Svc_begin_dte between .vstartqtr2 and .vstopqtr2 and + Case_no not in + (sel Case_no from services whe Svc_code = '150' and + Svc_begin_Dte between .vstartqtr and .vstopqtr)
