Dont know whats causing the problem but would it not be better to just have:
1:TEXT vZName= (ZFName & ZLName) IN Z_Identity_Info WHERE ZID = ZID Regards, Stephen Markson ForenSys The Forensic Systems Group www.ForenSys.ca 416 512 6950 ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Frederick Sent: February 15, 2008 11:02 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Variables and () 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?
