Passing Wrong Data Types to External Procedures
When calling an external procedure it is possible to pass incorrect
data types to the procedure (i.e. procedure expects an integer and you
pass it a character variable).
Progress will only generate an error condition if the data that was
passed to the external procedure cannot be converted into an
acceptable value.
So...the end result of this is that this behavior is not a bug. It
is Progress trying to be helpful.
