<QUOTE>
here's a tiny little (but annoying) bug I found in the sum()

function ....



b='

c=sum(b)

* b is now 0 (!!) not ''



Our program bugged 'cause of this, took me almost a day to find

out why ..

<QUOTE>It's a real PITA when this sort of thing trips you up. I spent most of yesterday failing to get a javascript to compile because I called it .js instead of .htm ... and don't even get me started on case sensitivity.

You have my sympathy. Only today on this very list I referred to a file as .jpg when it was .JPG. Oh, shame!

<QUOTE>I dunno .. but I feel that most of the replies to my post is kinda

out of scope ..



I had the idea that the sum() function under __No__ circumstances

what so ever should change the in-variable .. now .. OI's sum() function does, and in my opinion that is _wrong_



the fact is that if this program

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

compile function x(dummy)



c='

b=sum(c)



return 'c is ':c

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



is run under OI 3.2



it will give the result



run x



c is 0

In the current version, the behavior is the same.  Sum("") returns 0.
