Error in the notes Help

Before you ask, after pointing out my last error in the notes help, I downloaded the latest file from IBM…

I’ve spotted another one. Help for LS function

SetEnvironmentVar method.

Extracts from the help

Top section is as it should be:


issystemvar

Boolean. Optional. If True, no dollar sign character (“$”) is prepended to the variable name. Defaults to False.

–

Further down in the detail:

–

SetEnvironmentVar prepends a dollar sign character (“$”) to the name$ before setting the value of the environment variable, unless you specify issystemvar as False or have already included a “$” as the first character of the name$.

–

So the top section says correctly that if you specify issystemvar as True, then the $ is not appended to the file. It also correctly states it is defaulted to false.

BUT - the bottom section specifically states “unless you specify issystemvar as False”…

So…Lotus take note - fix the help to make it more consistent!

This has been corrected in Domino Designer 7.0 Help

SetEnvironmentVar prepends a dollar sign character (“$”) to the name$ before setting the value of the environment variable, unless you specify issystemvar as True or have already included a “$” as the first character of the name$.

There is an SPR for it for 6.5 Domino Designer Help and it is listed as fixed as of Dec 15, 2004, so 6.5.4 and 6.0.5 DD Help should have the correct information Now the question is why is that not posted?
