FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Progress keywords can be defined as variables
GT operator can be defined as variable
LT operator can be defined as variable
EQ operator can be defined as variable
CAUSE:
bug# 20030401-002
CAUSE:
GT, LT, EQ can all be defined as variables, and under circumstances work ok:
def var gt as char.
def var test-var as char.
assign gt = "test"
test-var = "test".
disp gt
test-var.
But this doesn't:
def var gt as char.
def var test-var as char.
assign test-var = "test"
gt = "test".
disp gt
test-var.
FIX:
In the event of errors appearing, the GT, LT, EQ operators would need to be replaced by the operator symbols, i.e. >, <, =.
In general, don't use Progress keywords as variable names.
