My client came to me with this today. He is running SCO Unix 5.07 Filepro 
5.0.14R4. 

  -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
settle ∙ If:                                   ∙
       Then: bi(6,allup)="050816"                  'Effective Entry Date  Settl>
124  -------   -   -   -   -   -   --   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ∙ If: bi co "/"                                                         ∙
       Then: beep;beep;beep;errorbox "DATE IN WRONG FORMAT, RETRY MENU  OPTION !>
125  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ∙ If: 'to check if date is not in past                            ∙
       Then: fx(8,mdy/)=mid(bi,"3","2"){"/"{mid(bi,"5","2"){"/"{mid(bi,"1","2")∙
126  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ∙ If: fx lt @td                                            ∙
       Then: beep;beep;beep;errorbox "Settlement Date in the PAST !";exit    

Line 126 returns true when it is false.

But if I change @td to @TD it works. I major problem if all system fields must be in caps now with FP version 5.0.14R4. Is this true? 

Any ideas? Is this true with all system variables?

Thanks
