    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/705

    eval bbs.event_code
    Result (string):

    I checked event_time and it does say something is scheduled

    eval bbs.event_time
    Result (number): 1706441580

    Confirming what Max said in Sycn sysops.

    I am able to reproduce and see garbage data sometimes too:
    ```
    ■ Main ■ 0:06:19 [2] DOVE-Net [18] Synchronet Sysops: ;eval
    Parameter(s): bbs.event_code
    Result (string):

    ■ Main ■ 0:06:55 [2] DOVE-Net [18] Synchronet Sysops: ;eval
    Parameter(s): bbs.event_code
    Result (string): 

    ■ Main ■ 0:07:49 [2] DOVE-Net [18] Synchronet Sysops: ;eval
    Parameter(s): bbs.event_code
    Result (string): °αo
    ```
    I am actively investigating.

    Interestingly, if you create a .js file with writeln(bbs.event_code); then it displays properly if you run with ;exec ? within the BBS.
