We are finding some legacy code with -SETs that are concluded with two semi-colons ( ; Wink. Has anybody experienced any issues with double semi-colons in -SETs.

I ran an ECL search but did not find any issues.
There were no issues with TABLE FILE CAR so we need some cases where there are issues in real world data instances.

Thanks in advance. The Focus Nation rules and let's all enjoy the Sweet Sixteen, the NIT playoffs and the rest of March Madness.

Hi Sandy,
When we converted to 7.7.03, we got errors with double semi-colons in DEFINE statements. Code-tightening by IBI...
In Dialogue Manager code, we didn't have any...

Sandy, thats a semi colon and a wink, yes ? Smiler

there's a piece of downloadableware called WildEdit (by the TextPad people).
The same way that TextPad can do a 'find in files' to search your entire site for a particular thing, like a pair of semis, WildEdit can search-and-change in text files (fexes,htms) in one fell swoop.

Beware of automatically changing ;; to ;!
You might have some in a LET with a COMPUTE and there it is not only legal but sometimes necessary...
