Re: Overflow errors on add

As far as i know, you are stuck. Here, we decided to keep the form "add x y" 
whenever we think that there may be an overflow.

Hi,
I am in the process of converting my source from RPG3 to RPG4 and have the
following piece of code.

RPG3
add x   y

which translates to
RPG4
eval    x = x + y

Now RPG3 is forgiving of overflow errors, but RPG4 is not.
How can I trap potential overflow errors?
Can I set a compiler option (in CRTBNDRPG) to show this condition? 
Euan.
