I have run into a situation I can easily fix but do not understand what
happened. Using V8 with the most recent updates. In my examples below
ZID is an integer ID# and .vZID is the integer variable version. I have
used these examples for months. They have always worked and both follow
the examples in the manuals. 

 

Example 1 : COMPUTE ZXYZ AS COUNT ZID FROM Z_Identity_Info WHERE ZID =
.vZID AND  ZResid = 'Home'

 

Example 2 (form variables) :

1 : INTEGER   vZID = ZID

2 : TEXT    vZFName = ZFName IN Z_Identity_Info WHERE ZID = .vZID

3 : TEXT    vZLName = ZLName IN Z_Identity_Info WHERE ZID = .vZID

4 : TEXT    vZName = (.vZFName & .vZLName)

 

In the last week, these same lines stopped working until I changed .vZID
to (.vZID) this morning. Once the changes were made the programs took
off and ran like usual. The Valentines update was installed and when
(.vZID) is returned to .vZID, it stops working again. This no real
problem (except the editing to be done), but I do not understand what
might have changed. If this is simply a tightening of options then OK.
Is there something else I just do not see?
