My VMS maintainer (Hartmut Becker) took a look and provided a patch that fixes this, plus a few other irregularities with the quoting. Patch attached. This will be in the next version of GNU make. Thanks.

Sorry, I'm very confused by this bug report. I don't have a VMS system and I'm not very familiar with the details of VMS, so the text file attached is hard for me to understand.

Can you create a very short (couple of lines) makefile that shows the problem, and also describe exactly what is wrong? Showing a "before" and "after" picture isn't helping me because I don't know enough about VMS to see what the significant differences are.

It looks to me like this code is meant to break up the .com file into individual lines in a "smart" way, and you are saying that in some cases that is not happening properly if the variable is set to an empty string? Or ... ?

Under Vms splitting lines in 'small' entities before
sub-script execution is not correctly proceed if empty string
is used in command line.
