Hi all,

Every sunday a job does db-maintenance. This job runs for 3 weeks now,
and we never had a problem...
until yesterday:
We are on 6.0 pp1 (979KS/200), and the job has NOT BEEN MODIFIED since
september 7th.

Sunday 10. september, jobs works fine:
:JOB XXXXX,........
<snip>

:IF (HPDATE >= 8 AND HPDATE <= 14)
 *** EXPRESSION TRUE
 :do this, do that
 :ENDIF

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday 17. september:
:JOB XXXXX,........
<snip>

>  :IF (HPDATE >= 8 AND HPDATE <= 14)
>                      ^
>  Variable name encountered, but variable is not defined.
>   (CIERR 9805)
>  REMAINDER OF JOB FLUSHED.
>  CPU sec. = 631.  elapsed min. = 92.  SUN, SEP 17, 2000,  5:43 AM.
>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I streamed it again, and it worked as expected:

JOB XXXXX,........
<snip>

>  :IF (HPDATE >= 8 AND HPDATE <= 14)
>  *** EXPRESSION FALSE: COMMANDS IGNORED UNTIL MATCHING ELSEIF/ELSE
>  /ENDIF
>  :ECHO ** bla bla bla test test
>  :ENDIF
>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a bug or a feature?  :-)

Any ideas?
Thank you
