1305.0. "DISPLAY giving uppercase..." by WOTVAX::DORANA (Mr Ken Shabby) Tue Aug 25 1992 10:55

    I have the following named data in a form:-
    
    FOR FIRST CORR_TRACK WITH .CORR_NUMBER EQS $CORR_NUMBER
     DO GET $CORR_ADDENDUM=.CORR_ADDENDUM \\
     GET $CORR_REF=.CORR_REF \\
     DISPLAY I got it
    
    Problem is, the message (I got it) is displayed in upercase - ie I GOT
    IT.
    
    This is the same for OA$DISPLAY aswell.
    
    Any ideas? (ALL-IN-1 V2.4, no patches)
    
    Cheers,
    
    Andy

1305.1	Use a symbol	SAHQ::WOLFE	John Wolfe - (404)-924-6463	`Tue Aug 25 1992 13:34`	9
	Try using a symbol: GET #FOO ="I got it" \ FOR FIRST CORR_TRACK WITH .CORR_NUMBER EQS $CORR_NUMBER DO GET $CORR_ADDENDUM=.CORR_ADDENDUM \\ GET $CORR_REF=.CORR_REF \\ GET OA$DISPLAY = #FOO
1305.2	Symbol works - but why?	WOTVAX::DORANA	Mr Ken Shabby	`Tue Aug 25 1992 14:23`	26
	Ok - GET #FOO = "I got it" \ FOR FIRST CORR_TRACK WITH .CORR_NUMBER EQS $CORR_NUMBER DO GET $CORR_ADDENDUM=.CORR_ADDENDUM \\ GET $CORR_REF=.CORR_REF \\ GET OA$DISPLAY=#FOO gives the message I got it Whilst FOR FIRST CORR_TRACK WITH .CORR_NUMBER EQS $CORR_NUMBER DO GET $CORR_ADDENDUM=.CORR_ADDENDUM \\ GET $CORR_REF=.CORR_REF \\ GET OA$DISPLAY="I got it" gives I GOT IT Why the difference????

1305.3	bug	SHALOT::LAMPSON	and I never got my turkey . . .	`Tue Aug 25 1992 15:16`	6
	There is a bug in ALL-IN-1 V2.4 which uppercases everything in the code of the FOR loop. This looks like it's fixed in V3.0 _M
