Ulises,

I suspect that set('exact') is OFF, which is the default value

OFF: Specifies that, to be equivalent, expressions must match character for character until the end of the expression on the right side is reached

ie

set exact OFF
? 'xxxxx' = '' && yields TRUE

set exact ON
? 'xxxx' = '' && yields FALSE

SET EXACT is scoped to the current data session.
