BUG FIX: E-Studio incorrectly generating constants during List generation [18644]

This article applies to:
E-Prime 2.0

This bug has been corrected in E-Prime 2.0 (2.0.8.68).


Symptoms
When generating an experiment with a List column that has a '.' (period) in it, such as MyObject.MyVariable, the experiment will fail to generate/run.

The reason is due to an issue with E-Studio generating constants similar to attrib_MyObjectMyVariable to aleviate generating quoted strings in the final .ebs2 output.


Solution
Upgrade to E-Prime 2.0.8.68 or later.

Workaround

This workaround is intended only for those who are unable to update to the version of E-Prime that contains the bug fix:

Avoid using '.' (period) in List column names.
