CMD problem from A/Car 2017 to A/Car 2018

I have a cmd file I've used for many years to extract info about my A/Car suspension assemblies. It seems to be crashing now on the last line below in A/Car 2018 and I can't see why. Any thoughts...???

defaults function_references show_as = partial_name

!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

!>>>>>> Capture model, analysis, and subsystem names...

var set var=Model_Name object=(eval(db_default(.system_defaults,"model")))

var set var=Analysis_Name object=(eval(db_default(.system_defaults,"analysis")))

var set var=Subsystem_Name string_value=(str_substr(eval(Model_Name.object_value[1]),1,(str_length(eval(Model_Name.object_value[1]))-1)))

var set var=Analysis_Subsystem_Name object=(eval(Analysis_Name.object_value)//eval(Subsystem_Name.string_value))

Hi Jim. I don't know why it would crash. Did you get a .dmp file on crash? That might help us debug the code.

But anyway, the expression looks a little odd to my eyes... I'd write it like this:

var set var=Analysis_Subsystem_Name object=(eval(Analysis_Name//"."//Model_Name[1].name))

the ".name" is a built-in way to get any object's name (not including any of its parents).

And in general, you only need one eval() function per expression.
