Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Evaluating widget INTEGER or CHARACTER INPUT-VALUE generates the following error:
Incompatible data types in CASE and a WHEN branch expression. (3536)
CAUSE:
This is a known issue being investigated by Development
FIX:
Use an intermediate variable of the same type, to evaluate the CASE statement.
Example:
The following case fails with the error 3536:
CASE fTest:INPUT-VALUE : /* fTest is the Fill In widget is defined as an INTEGER */
WHEN 1 THEN DO:
DISP "1".
END.
END CASE.
A workaround is to use an intermediate variable of the same type in the CASE statement as follows:
DEFINE VARIABLE vTest as INTEGER.
ASSIGN vTest = fTest:INPUT-VALUE. /* fTest is a Fill In widget of type INTEGER */
CASE vTest :
WHEN 1 THEN DO:
DISP "1".
END.
END CASE.
The same is applicable for CHARACTER type.
