Dayle -
Also, under the R:BASE Help, go to
Reference Index
Reference Topics
Conversion Issues & Considerations
And I highly recommend that you get to one of the R:BASE Boot Camp sessions
ASAP! http://www.rbase.com/events/
Good luck!

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: 6.5 command code not working in 7.6
Dayle, in addition to Bill and Dawn's comments, I would also avoid using
reserved words as variables, ANSI and CONTAINS in lines 7 and 9
specifically. vANSI and vContains maybe, but I'd not use them at all.
