FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Cannot chain a character variable with a LONGCHAR using the '+' operator
When using a DYNAMIC-FUNCTION to return the character variable
An expression like this returns error 223:
myLongChar = myLongChar + DYNAMIC-FUNCTION("returnChar":U).
** Incompatible data types in expression or assignment. (223)
These expressions all work fine:
myLongChar = myLongChar + myChar.
myLongChar = myLongChar + returnChar().
CAUSE:
This is a known issue being investigated by Development
FIX:
Enclose the DYNAMIC-FUNCTION within a STRING function:
myLongChar = myLongChar + STRING(DYNAMIC-FUNCTION("returnChar":U)).
