The difference between single and double quotes.

Most often difficulty strikes when comparing boolean values. For every database Uniface has a 'default' way of storing information (like a boolean). If that default is a 1 character string, either "Y" or "N" often the code:

if (boolean="Y") a=b

will work. However when the same code is executed on a system where booleans are stored differently, problems arise.
