TitleBugs and PCs - Xlate with Multipart Keys
KeywordsSYMBOLIC
XLATE
MULTIPART
KEY
TextKarl Reti of Manchester has pointed out an annoying bug in the displaying of
Symbolic fields between parts of a multipart key This specifically seems to
affect XLATEs and is simply that if the item being XLATED to is not there
regardless of whether an "X" is specified or not the XLATE behaves as
though a "C" were specified and the ID shows up on the screen where the
XLATE should be This ALSO affects SCREENS that are made up purely of
symbolics (i e a key and a screen of symbolics) as Nick Edwards of
Twickenham complained

As both gentlemen have found out the solution to this bug is simply to
append a space to your XLATE e g

X=XLATE("VOC"'@ID 1 "X"):" "
