Whoever is familiar with the #showdb command for displaying the values of data record variables, can hopefully tell me why in my settings, and alias that executes the following command

#al searchsum {#showdb @comfound}

will display

Comfound:
Morgana: 13 Iron at 230 each
Nassau: 10 Iron at 400 each
Greeny: 25 Iron at 350 each

(which is exactly the data I put IN to the @comfound variable)

but in certain friends' settings the #showdb command seems to return nothing at all... even with identical values in the @comfound variable itself. #show will work in those cases, but if any of you have used #showdb with success, you'll know that it's output is much prettier for data record vars than #show is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

#addkey comfound {Morgana=13 Iron at 230 each|Nassau=10 Iron at 400 each|Greeny=25 Iron at 350 each}
#showdb @comfound

Morgana: 13 Iron at 230 each
Nassau: 10 Iron at 400 each
Greeny: 25 Iron at 350 each

There are other commands to display the above output, like:

#loopdb @comfound {#show {%key: %val}}

#show %expanddb(@comfound,%crlf,": ")

#show %replace(%replace(@comfound,%char(29),%crlf),%char(30),": ")

Maybe ask your friend to turn off triggers to see if showdb displays correctly.

Hey Throttle, thanks a ton for your help... every one of those suggestions worked like a charm... actually heard back from my friend, and it was a zmud preference we missed...

"It was settings. General parsing and echo messages wasn't checked".

So for anyone else who's experienced this problem, there you are.
