[CLOSED] DOUBLE BLANK in AMPER VARIABLE

Hi,

I will test this code :

-SET &TEST = 'hello s'  worldd';
-TYPE '&TEST.EVAL'

webfocus, return error, but if i changed
-SET &TEST = 'hello s' worldd';
(one space)
by
-SET &TEST = 'hello s'worldd';
(no space)

it's ok.

Does anyone help me ?

FYI

Double single quotes evaluate to a single single quote.

quote:
-SET &TEST = 'hello s' worldd';
-TYPE '&TEST.EVAL'

You can add as many blanks as you like.

-SET &TEST = 'hello s' | ' ' | ' worldd';
-TYPE '&TEST.EVAL'
Results:
'hello s worldd'
