Applications Express and the '@' symbol with quote setting 6.5++ patch 1 for windows

[Dan Goldberg]

I have found a problem with using applications express with the quotes setting at double quotes.

 

When you use the @ symbol in the forms where clause with the double quotes setting, it will not convert to a user dialog box when it compiles.

 

This is what is looks like in the app file:

 

EDIT USING  vendorinsp          +
        WHERE  vendorinsp.inspect_date contains @ "Enter date"

 

It should look something like this:

 

SET VAR WHVAL1 TEXT
      DIALOG "Enter Date"+
        WHVAL1 WHTEMP 1
      EDIT USING  vendorinsp            +
        WHERE  vendorinsp.inspect_date  = .WHVAL1
      CLEAR VAR WHVAL1    
      CLEAR VAR WHTEMP

 

 

But if you change to the single quotes setting, delete it, reenter it, and save it work work fine but will not convert the previously made @ clauses that were done in double quotes in the previous version of R:base.

 

I have have done it with 6.5+ and previous versions but in 6.5++ and in 6.5++ patch 1 it don't work.

 

Has anybody ran across this or can duplicate this??
