We REALLY appreciate any hint on this.

 Hi everybody,
 
 We are having serious problems operating with strings. Comparisons involving
 this type don't work properly. Any idea?
 This is an script of a faling query:
   
   * retrieve (EMP.all) where EMP.name="Sam"
   
   \g
   
   Query sent to backend is "retrieve (EMP.all) where EMP.name="Sam"  "
   WARN:Feb 10 23:25:44:OperatorDef: no operator =
    
 Defining Postquel functions don't work either for us. We are following
 the syntax indicated in the user's manual (page 9). Actually it's the
 example used there. Again, the script follows:

   * define function pay 
   (language = "postquel", returntype=EMP)
   as 
   retrieve (EMP.all) where EMP.salary > 1300.0
   \g
   
   Query sent to backend is "define function pay  (language = "postquel", retu   rntype = EMP) as  retrieve (EMP.all) where EMP.salary > 1300.0 "
   WARN:Feb 10 23:27:41:no zero argument postquel functions

 If anyone has any idea of what's going on, please reply to the list or
 in private.
 
 Thanks in advance.
