Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1x
SYMPTOM(s):
DEFINE VARIABLE in results in warning 630
Defining a variable with a strange format results in a compiler warning and runtime error.
For example:
DEFINE VARIABLE xxx AS CHARACTER FORM "999" INIT "*" NO-UNDO.
Results in error 830.
" ** Character * at position 1 must be digit. (630) ".
** Character <char> at position <n> must be digit. (630)
OpenEdge 10.1A02 gives a warning 630 when in OpenEdge 10.1A01, there wasn't any warning.
CHANGE:
Upgrade from OpenEdge 10.1A01 to OpenEdge 10.1A02.
CAUSE:
This is expected behavior.
FIX:
The compile time warning is an indication that a run time error will happen at deployment. So it is better to address this problem before shipping an application.
