I'm trying to define a table that has a CreateUser
column that will default to the current R:Base NAME
value.

The column appears to have the DEFAULT expression set
correctly:

 CreateUser         Type   : TEXT 8
                    Default: (CVAL('NAME'))

I would expect this to put, for instance, the name
TESTING into this column (I checked and CVAL('NAME')
correctly returns TESTING at the R> Prompt).

However, what I really get is (CVAL('N which is the
first 8 characters of the expression.

The next column (CreateDate DATETIME) is defined with
the default (DATETIME(.#DATE,.#TIME)).  This column is
getting a NULL Default.

Anyone know how to deal with this?  I would like to
use the default technique to set these columns rather
than having to rely on an AFTER TRIGGER update.
