Solution ID: P14509
GOAL:
How to define a character variable using the initial value of a input parameter
FIX:
It is illegal to use the VALUE() function in the INITIAL phrase of the DEFINE VARIABLE statement as a means of initializing a variable to the value of an input parameter
The proper way to initialize the variable is using ASSIGN statement after the definition of the variable doing something like:
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER X AS INTEGER.
DEFINE VARIABLE Y AS INTEGER.
ASSIGN Y = X.
