Dynamical use of setvaluesets

[zwan]

Hello guys,
I am a little confused about the setvaluesets function.

While this works:

Code: Select all

setvaluesets("_HH1020");

This one does not:

Code: Select all

VAR1020 = "_HH1020";
setvaluesets(VAR1020);

Nor does the following:

Code: Select all

VAR1020 = "_HH1020";
setvaluesets(maketext("%s",VAR1020));

And ALPHA VAR1020; has been declared in PROC GLOBAL


Why? I am using CSPro 5.0.3

I want to dynamically change value sets for a number of items.

Thank for your help

I suspect that the problem has to do with the spaces that probably exist to the right of the characters in your VAR1020 string. Try this instead:

setvaluesets(strip(VAR1020));

Oh yes! It works and still that's a weird behavior.
