Re: Strange behavior for SQL precompiler

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Plex changed...or Aldon did (I forget which at this point)

Are you getting this during the Plex Gen & Build or during the Aldon
compile/promote?

I don't recall the details, but I think the Plex Gen & Build would fail,
but a compile from Aldon would work.
