Main reason why it's a "best practices" thing to always throw a space after
each comma in a list such as that.
Is this a list, or a decimal? Myvalue(2,3) The following clarifies that
Myvalue(2, 3)

I have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE custmast (
CustID NUMERIC(4, 0) NOT NULL
,Name CHAR(40) NOT NULL
,PRIMARY KEY (Custid)
)
This insert statement works in iACS but fails in RUNSQLSTM:
INSERT INTO custmast (CustID,Name) VALUES (1,'John Smith');

However, this one works in RUNSQLSTM and iACS:
INSERT INTO custmast (CustID,Name) VALUES (1, 'John Smith');

The difference is the extra space after the ",". I had some more
extensive code that I ran with RUNSQLSTM back in 2022 (I think) on
PUB400 but it broke today.

Is this a known bug or feature?
