1305.0. "DISPLAY giving uppercase..." by WOTVAX::DORANA (Mr Ken Shabby) Tue Aug 25 1992 11:55

    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,

1305.1Use a symbolSAHQ::WOLFEJohn Wolfe - (404)-924-6463Tue Aug 25 1992 14:349
	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
    
1305.2Symbol works - but why?WOTVAX::DORANAMr Ken ShabbyTue Aug 25 1992 15:2326
    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????

1305.3bugSHALOT::LAMPSONand I never got my turkey . . .Tue Aug 25 1992 16:166
        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
