After talking to Tim, I understand the decision hasn't been made about including this assignment behavior.  I'll let you decide what needs to happen to the defect.
Comment 2 Jeff Douglas CLA 2011-08-05 14:29:37 EDT 
A decision was made to not allow substring on the lhs of an assignment, so this is not valid syntax to support.
Comment 3 Kathy Carroll CLA 2011-09-16 13:59:25 EDT 
not supported
