(You don't mention the version here, so I might have wasted my time  testing
this on the latest.)

Not obvious to me, and I cannot duplicate the problem here. Try adding this
line to the file:

    UserTag ecs_load PosNumber 5

That will tell the argument parser how many arguments there are for sure. It
should figure that out without telling it, though.

Also try adding a dummy parameter in the Order list.

And are you sure you have no DOS-ish characters in the file?

Thanks for the feedback, Mike !

I am running 4.8.7.  What's more bizarre is my test site is
working perfectly with the same UserTag.

I tried the dummy parameter test and it picks up the value on the
second parameter! ! !

I also added a test Usertag with 5 parameters and it worked just fine.

The way I got it to work (as a temp hack) was to change:

   UserTag ecs_load Order name table keyfield keydata where

To:

   UserTag ecs_load Order n t k d w

All the parameters now come in as expected, but I know this is
only a temporary hack....clearly something else is amiss..

Again thanks.
