Hints and a space

Hi All,

We're having a debate at work this morning about a space in a hint,... not clear so far, read on...

I remember from a few years back that if a hint was specified without a space after the plus sign it was ignored, so

/*+full(t) */ didn't work, but /*+ full(t) */ was good.

Was this the case a few releases back as it doesn't seem to be now,.. was it ever the case. I feel sure it was and have always used the space since - and for the last few years when reviewing code have always rejected code with hints without this space.

Cheers
Tony
