@PopupMenu problem

I am looking at the Invoicing System featured in the March and April 2004 Inside Sesame.  I have a part of the programming that does not appear to be working correctly(meaning I've goofed again.)  The PopupMenu should show a list of numbers(quantities) from 1 - 9 and then another line that reads more...

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
more...

Instead, the PopupMenu displays

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,more...

What am I doing wrong?

Here is the code

vStartQty = 1
vEndQty = 9
vSelectedQty = "More..."
while vSelectedQty = "More..."
{
For i = vStartQty to vEndQty
vQuantities = vQuantities + i + ","
Next
vSelectedQty = @PopupMenu(vQuantities + "More...", "SELECT QUANTITY for" + @Newline() + vSelectedItem)
vStartQty = vEndQty + 1
vEndQty = vStartQty + 9
vQuantities = ""
}

I haven't tested this yet, but it looks like you may have a typo in the program.

Try changing from this:
Quote:
For i = vStartQty to vEndQty
vQuantities = vQuantities + i + ","
Next

To this:
Quote:
For i = vStartQty to vEndQty
vQuantities = vQuantities + i + ";"
Next


Changed the comma to a semicolon.

If the change from a "comma" to a "semi-colon" corrects the problem, then it looks like it is wrong in the article.  I just looked, and it definitely looks like a "comma" on p5 of the March 2004 issue. 

Page 37 of the Programming Guide for @PopupMenu states:
   Displays a popup menu/selection list containing semicolon-delimited list with specified menu header y.

Both the comma and the semicolon worked in earlier versions. In later versions, only semicolon works for PopupMenu. The comma is being phased out as a valid separator. It will be retained in the old Q&A commands for compatibility, but is deprecated.

Thanks!   The semicolon did the trick.
