just an FYI.. in the app I'm working on right now, there are several 
instances of the "fail" line.. it works in p9/10/11.. I'd have to look, to 
find examples in pdoxdos, but I'll take your word for it

Cleaning up variable scoping and found an issue, but I'm not sure its worth 
worrying about..

Query

   Ordindhx | Date      |
            | ~CurrDate |

Endquery
CHECK
[Ordinddx(Q)->DD#] = "_d,~CurrDD"  ; <<=== fails
[Ordindhx(Q)->CN#] = CurrCN
Do_It!


If CurrDD is defined outside current function scope it will fail.

Workaround is to use = "_d," + CurrDD.

Is this worth chasing?
