>You may still USE "&cName" - the quotes will do it.
I tried this and it works....which I find a little incredible.
Usually, quotes are the sacred gardians of literal, not to be interpreted by any man or beast, text. Here we have an operator interpreted inside of quotes.
What's really amazing is that if cName is undefined, the result of ?"&cNAME" is the literal string &cName whereas if cName is a string valued variable set to "ON", ?"&cName" produces ON.
There doesn't seem to be a mechanism for preventing "&cName" from being expanded as a macro if cName is defined and contains a string. Ambiguous code is possible.
Seems like an ill-designed feature to me.
