Re -xs selection names

[Richard Kreiss]

I found an interesting issue with the name of a selection set between version 5.8 and 6.0

I had created a selection set Cardworks-test using dclerk 5.8.  However when I went to run a program using this selection set -xs "cardworks-test" I received and error that it could not find "cardworks-t. Apparently *clerk could not handle a 9 character name. This was corrected in 6.0.  I shortened that name to Cardworks and 5.8 read it without an issue.  So be careful.  If the version of filePro yields an error message with the version you are running, it may have been correct3d in a later version or maintenance release.  So, try to keep the version of filePro on the latest release of the version you are running or modify your code to work with the version running.
I have both 5.8.02.27 and 6.0.02.14 running on my system as I have a client who is currently using 5.8 and I am testing 6.0 on his system to insure that nothing has an issue with that release.
