How do you validate notation before execution?

[Michael Monschau]

So in light of this restated question, if I execute

	$cinst.$objs.xyz.$objs.www.$callme.$cando

And neither xyz, www, or $callme exist or just any one of them does not exist, $cando returns kFalse in my test, without triggering a notation error. I tested this with Studio 8.1.7.2.

So for me, it is in fact testing the entire notation. Of course I have not tested all kinds of possible peaces of notation, so I cannot say with absolute certainty this will work in any given situation, but for the above it appears to work

I also tested the following

	ivRef.$objs.xyz.$objs.www.$callme.$cando

where ivRef is an unset reference, and it returned kFalse without triggering a notation error. 

Hope this helps,

Michael
