Bes Properties that are not set or unkown causing relevance query issue

Just a bit more to round this out…
When I sent a more complex query, I got an error message “String did not contain a closing quotation mark”. I believe that’s because curl was handling the pipe operator “|” as a shell command. My workaround is to change the query file to take ‘relevance=’ off the front and pass that explicitly to curl

curl --insecure --user username --data-urlencode "output=json" -X POST "https://bes-root-server:52311/api/query" --data-urlencode "relevance@query.txt"

Contents of query.txt:

(
  name of item 0 of it|"Computer Name missing", 
  (if (size of item 1 of it = 1) then 
        ((if it = "" then 
            "No values" 
           else it) of concatenation ";" of 
values of results (item 0 of it, 
    elements of item 1 of it)) 
   else 
    (if (size of item 1 of it > 1) then 
          (("Duplicates: " & concatenation "|" of ((name of it) & "=" & (id of it as string)) of elements of item 1 of it) as string) 
       else 
           ("Property does not exist")))
   ) of  (elements of item 0 of it ,item 1 of it) of 
   (set of BES computers whose (name of it as uppercase is "MY-COMPUTERNAME"), 
    set of bes properties whose (name of it as lowercase = ("dmi family") as lowercase))
