Hi Dan,
You are not the crazy one. It changed some years ago (UniVerse anyway) - we
found out the hard way.
That and the user number not being the user number for phantom (ie client)
users have caused a great deal of heartache for us.
Scary thing is what else might change! We avoid use of NOT() when data
might be alpha, in case that changes to give runtime error.

Subject: [U2] <-1> and Null values
Hi all,
Hopefully I'm not going crazy, but I could have sworn in UD 7.1 that
doing a <-1> to append an empty string would not actually appended
anything. For example:
REC = 'A'
REC<-1> = ''
Would result in REC equaling 'A', not 'A':@AM
In fact, I even have some in-house tools I wrote that rely on <-1>
trimming out empty strings. Now, it appears in UD 7.2.5 that this is no
longer the case and it does equal 'A':@AM. I've been through all the
release notes and cannot see any changes that would have affected this.
I've also looked through all the UDT.OPTIONS and see nothing relevant...
Am I going crazy or has this indeed changed?
Cheers,
Dan
