SYMPTOMS
========
In versions 4.0 and 4.01 of Microsoft CodeView, requesting a Quick Watch on a
variable that includes one or more underscore characters in its name fails with
one of the following error messages:
CAN0017 Error: symbol not found
CXX0017 Error: symbol not found
This happens with either the SHIFT+F9 key combination or by selecting Quick Watch
from the Data menu. This problem also occurs with other keystrokes that require
CodeView to parse a string (containing underscore characters) at the current
cursor location, such as F1 and Ctrl-W (Add Watch).
RESOLUTION
==========
To avoid this behavior, select the entire variable name before requesting a
Quick Watch. Another technique is to request a Quick Watch with the "??
<variable name>" command in the Command window.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView versions 4.0, 4.01, and
4.02. This problem was corrected in CodeView version 4.05.
Additional query words: 4.00
