In what context is the closing "}" of a "SET{...}" treated as a comment? About the only thing you can't do is have a {...} comment after the keywords SET, MULTISET, LIST - all the other comments are OK, and you can embed {...} comments in the body of a SET{{comment}1,{}2} structure. If you're about to tell me that DB-Access doesn't like it, then (a) I believe you, and (b) send me an example and I'll add it to a FR I entered this year about infelicities in the handling of comments in DB-Access, such as: {comment} LOAD FROM "wherever" INSERT INTO SomeWhere; -201 syntax error LOAD ( FROM "whereever" INSERT INTO SomeWhere; -404 instead of -201 syntax error.
