As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

<<SNIP>> I had a missing comma the other day, the SQL Precompiler

the results were not what I was looking for. I combed through the
joblog and found the SQL error. Once I added the comma, everything
was as expected. Why the precompiler doesn't recognize a missing
comma as an error is beyond me; IT SHOULD!!!
If /should/, then that implies a defect; defects should be reported
to a service provider. However, consider:
A comma that is /missing/, according to the perspective of the
programmer, is not necessarily also /missing/ according to the validity
of a statement, from the perspective of the parser of the language.
The following two statements, for example, are both valid, and quite
different [likely even, incompatible for most usages], despite someone
might argue that the first statement is /missing/ a comma in either or
both of the two clauses:
select col01 col02, col03
from file01 file02
select col01, col02, col03
from file01, file02
