I would use the quotes because without the quotes R:Base could take the name as a column and not a variable. Buddy From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J. Sinclair Sent: Monday, May 25, 2015 11:51 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Which is the correct syntax for GETPROPERTY? With or without the 'around the variable? Hi All, I have tried both of these, and both work.... SET VAR vtest TEXT GETPROPERTY id_filename TEXTVALUE vtest and SET VAR vtest TEXT GETPROPERTY id_filename TEXTVALUE 'vtest' My goal is to capture the text data into the variable. Since both seem to work, is there a preferred method? Is there any difference? Mike
