SYMPTOM(s):
Receiving errors (247) and (198) when running a procedure with an input parameter.
** Unable to understand after -- "<string>". (247)
** <program> Could not understand line <number>. (198)
If source code exists and the RUN statement specifies a source procedure (xxx.p) then the command runs successfully.
If compiled code (rcode) exists and the RUN statement specifies rcode (xxx.r) then error (247) shows mixed weird characters.
CAUSE:
You are accidentally passing an argument to the next procedure instead of passing an input parameter.
Because you are passing an argument, the RUN statement is expecting a source procedure.
FIX:
Instead of running code like this:
DEFINE VARIABLE myparam AS CHAR INIT "Test" NO-UNDO.
RUN proc.r myparam.
You should be running:
DEFINE VARIABLE myparam AS CHAR INIT "Test" NO-UNDO.
RUN proc.r (myparam).
