What is the problem with "@" in choose statements

I had a similar problem to this with I found a work round to. Can't quite
remember all of the details as I was with a previous employer at the time
but if someone could let me have some details it may job my memory ...
That's if it is the same problem.

If it is I was ensured by Cognos that this would be raised as a priority
fix.

		I am on 7.10e6 on an DEC ALPHA running VMS.  I discovered
that going
		from 7.10e6 to 7.10g would cost far too much to even
consider making
		the upgrade.  Among the disheartening losses of functions
was the
		inability to pass a system symbol containing an "@" into a
CHOOSE
		statement.  7.10g would not handle this at all, yet 7.10e6
handles
		this just fine.

		When I called COGNOS about this, they told me that they knew
about it,
		but had no plans to fix the problem even though they had
complaints
		from a number of other users.  I put in a bug fix request
last year,
		but have little hope that it will be fixed anytime soon.  It
took them
		nearly 6 months just to call me back to confirm the request.

		Until I hear more positive feedback on later releases, I
plan to stay
		right where I am, on 7.10e6.  I may be falling behind by not
moving
		forward, but, as it is, I can still keep my applications
running with
		reasonable success.  It sure beats the alternatives at this
time....
