    _______________________________________________________

Details:

With the following syntax:


DATA LIST FREE FILE='tda.txt' TABLE / rubrique (A18) value (A32).
LIST.


and the following tda.txt (note the 3 single quotes on line 1):


S80.G01.00.003.006,'XVXXXX XX X'XXXXSXRXX'
123456789ABCDE,'1'


PSPP gives the following error:


TDA.TXT:2: warning: LIST: Partial case discarded.  The first variable missing

        was value.


It seems that it would be better to warn about the unclosed quoted string on
line 1, instead of the mismatched fields at the end of the file.

Thanks to pascal barbedor <address@hidden> for reporting this bug.
