I have the following :

? '18264 DATABASE dumped with following info: Database Name:Apo32, Creation Date and Time:Oct 6, 99(18:18), Pages dumped:26674, Current Sequence:36435 10410385, Sort Order:52, Striped:NO, Number of Dump Devices:1, device info:(VOLID=SQL001 NAME=C:\TST\Apo32_db_dump.199910061818 TYPE=DISK FILE=1)'

And VFP6/SP3 complains 'Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword'

But if I do this:

? '18264 DATABASE dumped with following info: Database Name:Apo32, Creation Date and Time:Oct 6, 99(18:18), Pages dumped:26674, Current Sequence:36435 10410385, Sort Order:52, Striped:NO, Number of Dump Devices:1, device info:(VOLID=SQ'

VFP doesn't mind and prints it OK. How can I get it to work with longer strings? I need to parse this but can't even seem to read it.

Thanks.
