While we're asking for modest syntax changes . . . Being able to state DELIMIT BY in a REPEAT, and having it stick (as opposed to using the current value of the itemdelimiter) would be a huge help.
It would avoid ugliness like set the itemDel to vtab repeat for each item theDat in theData set the itemDel to tab do something set the itemDel to vtab end repeat While missing the last reset to vtab is a programming error, mu code is kind of littered with these (constant db accesses) code would be much easier to follow (and maintain) with repeat for each item theDat in theData DELIMTED BY vtab do something end repeat And while I'm at it, it's been mentioned before, but a Fortran-style optional tying of the end repeat to the repeat with a constant would be really helpful (same for switch, and so forth) [Fortran 90+, not FORTRAN IV!!!!] -- Dr. Richard E.
