SSget filter list issue

Does anyone know why this will work:

;| test string
(setq STYNME "LHB_0008")
|;
(setq updldrstylst (ssget "X"
(list
(cons 0 "dimension")
(cons 3 (strcat STYNME "*"))
(cons -4 "<NOT")
(cons 3 (strcat STYNME "*_awhd*"))
(cons -4 "NOT>")
)
)
)
;| test string
(command "select" updldrstylst)
|;

And This will not:

;| test string
(setq STYNME "LHB_0008")
|;
(setq updldrstylst (ssget "X"
(list
(cons 0 "leader")
(cons 3 (strcat STYNME "*"))
(cons -4 "<NOT")
(cons 3 (strcat STYNME "*_awhd*"))
(cons -4 "NOT>")
)
)
)
;| test string
(command "select" updldrstylst)
|;
Notice that the only difference is that one filters for dimensions while the
other looks for leaders...
Any help will be appreciated

There is a bug with ssget and the stylename. I've
mentioned here a couple of times, but was unable
to locate the exact threads for reference. I ended
up getting a selection set of all dimension/leaders
and stepping through the set and filtering for the
desired names.

 

I somehow knew that that would be the response.
Thanx a lot Jason

Wish there was another solution, but....

You're welcome.
