Negative number was expected. v4, v5 VMS workaround
890914-pmf01The following scenario will not work with VMS under rev 4 or rev 5.
procedure 1.
def var b as char format "99999-xxxx" init "12345". output to file1
no-echo. export b.
procedure 2.
def var b as char format "99999-xxxx". input from file1 no-echo.
message set b. display b.
An error will occur that says a negative number was expected.
A work-around would be to include the (-) dash.
