Gotcha !!

[Deskin, Bob]

I just looked through the QUIZ syntax table and sure enough MISSING is a
keyword that's used in the same way as NULL. I guess we should document that
:-) I'll pass it on to our publications people.

Qz> def missing char*1 = "Y"
Qz> def what char*5 = "Works" if missing = "Y" else "Brain"
Qz> rep what missing
Qz> go

Displays "Brain   Y"

It seems that missing is suffering some kind of reserved word conflict -
change it to mymissing & all's well.
However, I'm not aware of it being reserved, except for the Quick "for
missing" construct.
