Well, going to the documentation, they do not show a % in a called file. BUT, they do show a m2 ending. Elsewhere, they do say that a file must contain a Leading % and and ending % OR a terminating M2. Since the docs don't specifically forbid using a file structure similar to the primary files, I would think that the % in the subroutine file should be treated as a valid condition. Unless I missed the doc that forbade the leading and trailing % in a subroutine, I would think a subroutine file would / should be able to follow the same rules.. I believe this all worked in 2.7.3, and I didn't have the issue till 2.8 came out, but I do not want to go back to try it. I still think it is a "quirk defect" and should be resolved by code, or by a documentation statement.
Thank you for your patience and assistance.
Oh, and since the Post processor is generating the % front and back, then any subroutines I generate, and I do have a few, are going to have the % front and back. Yes, I could change the post processor.. but ...... Consistency in format is always a great coding mantra.
