Alan,

>Try some other tools to see if you get the same error

as ALREADY stated in my last message:

1. IB_SQL does NOT require the "set term" command

2. Marathon v. 15 itself did NOT require it

I don't have the time to check for other tools, but WISQL did NOT
require it, too.

>It may, however, be a wonderful feature for new clients

>But it is not a bug sorry.

they belong to the field of opinions, so I won't argue with the
comments above.

For me, Helen Borrie says it all very clearly in message 15830.
