[RBASE-L] - Re: Running 7.6 code from a batch?

[James Bentley]

Karen,
In addition to other comments I would:
1. review consequences of setting AUTOSYNC  ON.  The default is OFF

2. Why is currency symbol BLANK.
3. review why you  SET QUALCOLS 2  -- default is  10  
4. review why you SET WAIT 15 -- default is 4 sec

Just an observation.  Is the database really using the pre-SQL characters of 
DOUBLE_QUOTES="
and the SINGLE=? and MANY=*
If so, while they are legal under RBase any using current help and 
documentation may be confused if they don't mentally make the conversion 
between what the documentation shows and what they actually have to enter.

I can guess, but what is in messon.cmd?
Did you check to see if you actually have
a TEMP environment variable?

Karen,
If you post a copy of the program code perhaps someone on the list can spot the
problem line(s).
