I just ran across a problem I noticed a couple of years ago but never
reported. filepro doesn't like selection set names containing "-".
On an "If" line in processing, referring to a selection set name
containing a "-", e.g. em-wotx, produces a syntax error when saving and
syntax checking the table:
*** A filePro Error Has Occurred ***
Line Number: 5
not em-wotx
^
Process contains a syntax error at position indicated.
Referring to a selection set name containing a "-" from within a
selection set also does not work. E.g., when using scan for records,
extended selection, and a selection set name containing "-" is specified
in the Selector Sentence, I get the following error after pressing enter
to select records:
*** A filePro Error Has Occurred ***
On File: /u/appl/filepro/F142AD/sel.em
em-wotx
^
File not found
It seems it's only the "-" that filepro doesn't like. Replacing it
with "_" in the above examples works as expected (i.e., correctly).
Is this still present in the current version of filepro?
