FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Error (11389) when trying to assign a value to an indeterminate array element
Invalid assignment to an unfixed indeterminate extent (11389)
CAUSE:
The indeterminate extent being referenced has not been set to a fixed dimension. Values cannot be assigned to the extent until its dimension has be fixed
FIX:
In order to assign a value to an indeterminate array element, one has to first make the dimension of the array variable fixed by passing it to a function or a procedure that defines an input or output parameter as a fixed extent. e.g.:
DEFINE VARIABLE X AS CHARACTER EXTENT.
RUN proc (OUTPUT x).
X[1] = "test":U.
MESSAGE X[1]
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.
PROCEDURE proc.
DEFINE OUTPUT PARAMETER y AS CHARACTER EXTENT 3 NO-UNDO.
END PROCEDURE.
