Unexpected behaviour handling multiline attribute when inserting block with Lisp

[Mr Whippy]

I'm writing a lisp routine to automation drawing revision in lisp. to replace a diesel version. I have come across a problem when inserting the block using lisp, in diesel it works perfectly. The block has four attributes, with the last being a multiline attribute. The routine stumbles at this point and misinterprets the pause for user input as \ and returns the error 'unknown command'.

 

The diesel code that works is below.

 

attdia;0;-I;REVNOTE;\;1;;P01;""$m=$(edtime,$(getvar,date),DD.MO.YYYY)"";SMS;First issue;;attdia;1;rea;

 

The same in lisp below

 

(command "attdia" "0")
(command "_Insert" "REVNOTE" pause 1 1 0 "P01" Date Initials pause)
(command "attdia" "1")
(command "REA")

 

Any ideas on why this is happening as i'm stumped, unless its a bug in AutoCAD. 

 

many thanks
