Incorrectly reported bug issue

[Richard Kreiss]

I found that out the hard way. I think it would be easier to eliminate the space where possible.  To handle this I cast qo(2,*) to hold a ". I still needed to handle this in the receiving program also. 

It would be nice to know how much data one can pass. Not sure what the affect using these has on the size of the Tok tables. 

If I have time, I might experiment to see how much data I can pass.   

This may also be dependent on how large a command can be in a command line.

As pointed to me, the online documents are very clear about this.  Bruce Easton indicated that it may be better if, when using date functions, that (exp) be replaced with (date Exp) so there is no confusion about what is needed inside the parenthesis.
