<< It seems obvious to ask why SLOC has a problem identifying two spaces? Is it an R:Base problem or a Windows/general computing one? IF it's an R:Base one does it need reporting or is RBTI aware already? >>
This happens because R:Base automatically trims spaces from the end of text. So that two-space argument gets trimmed down before SLOC even sees it. I've had the same problem trying to create stored procedures where the arguments have space appended at the end -- the spaces are removed before the parameter is seen by the stored procedure code. R:Base has worked this way from day one. I'm not sure how R:Base stores text values in the database but many other database systems that don't trim spaces return text column values right padded with spaces and need to be TRIMmed in code (a hassle in those systems). -- Larry
