In that case try: SET BLANK=NULL -- no gap either side of the equals sign SET BLANK=' ' -- that's a space surrounded by your single quote character
I think you need to be sure that it gets set to null first so, if that has already succeeded you, should not need the hyphen. IF R:Base now thinks there is not meant to be a space at all then -as a long shot - try it all as one word: SETBLANK=NULL I can't see how that could happen because the help section shows: Special Character Sets the character for spaces. The BLANK character is used to separate words in a command string. Syntax: SET BLANK=NULL Syntax: SET BLANK=char (Use NULL to disable the special character.) Default: (space) Good luck, Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronald C Peterson To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 11:03 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Bad Character Setting for BLANK I was able to set it to NULL as you suggested BUT I still can't set it back to be a blank. I get 43 occurances of the error message after go to the SET screen and hitting a space bar on the entry BLANK. Also tried it at the R> prompt but after setting it to NULL, the SET BLANK= command fails. With blank set to NULL, no multi word command will work now????
