subject: DATA Bug in PB 3.1

   I've a long program (4,300+ lines in main, 500+ in an
 $include file, 1,200+ lines in miscellaneous library files)
 that had been running okay until I added a set of DATA lines,
 bringing the total blocks of DATA to two.  Both blocks are
 labeled with text names (as opposed to using line number
 labels).  The block I added is a list of strings enclosed
 in double quotes.
    Here's the bug: the program skips over the first string.
 The only way I've found to get around the problem is by
 inserting a null string "" as the first data item.  Is this
 a known bug?
... I don't suffer from insanity.  I enjoy every minute of it.
