SYMPTOM(s):
ENTRY statement fails to compile
entry( 2 , entry ( 1 , i-attr, "_" ) , "=" ) = a .
The target of the ENTRY statement must be a field or an unqualified reference to a data member or variable
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.2B
All Supported Operating Systems
CHANGE:
Applied service pack 10.2B01
CAUSE:
This is expected behavior.
The ABL code is actually invalid as it attempts to assign the result of the ENTY statement directly to the return value of another function; this return value will be discarded at the end of the operation anyway, making this a no-op.
Starting with OpenEdge 10.2B01, the compiler now detects this and raises an error.
FIX:
Modify the code so that a variable is used for the return value of the various operations, and that these operations are called on this variable in the correct sequence.
