I've been working with Dbase II on the ATT 3b2 Unix system. Several problems keep jumping up: - the str() function as used in dos on my Osborne's dBase II generates syntax errors - Unexpected returns seem to be generated in called sub-programs, i.e. you say 'do program' and program may have a nested if, with a DO WHILE loop inside it followed by additional statements. After finishing the DO WHILE loop, or a nested if statement inside the DO WHILE loop, the program returns to the calling program without touching any of the following statements. Anybody who can offer suggestions for work arounds, or why this is doing what it's doing.... You're comments would be appreciated. Does anybody know of a published list of bugs for the Unix implementation of dBASE? Every serious data base program I've worked with (except for the cp/m & DOS pc world varieties) includes such information as 'Release Notes'. Thanks in advance, J Fields ...ihnp4/islenet/fields/jayf
