SYMPTOM(s):
Procedure that defines temp-table parameter with BIND option loses access to object instance
Temp-table is defined as REFERENCE-ONLY
Procedure has internal procedure for temp-table with BIND option
Internal procedure is called from elsewhere in the code
Call to internal procedure specifies BY-REFERENCE for temp-table parameter
Procedure does not have access to temp-table after internal procedure finishes
Attempt to reference uninitialized temp-table. (12378)
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
CAUSE:
This is expected behavior.
A BY-REFERENCE pass is expected to only last for the duration of the routine (function/method/procedure) call. Note that the BY-REFERENCE option on the routine invocation overrides the BIND option in the routine's parameter definitions.
FIX:
Specify BIND instead of BY-REFERENCE in the routine invocation statement.
The BIND option explicitly establishes a binding between a REFERENCE-ONLY definition and an actual object instance that persists until either the definition or the object is deleted.
