I compiled it on V5R2, still got the same error. My system have
secondary language QSYS2987, and DBCS enabled. Does some one have any
idea ?

Best regards,

Vengoal

Source code that you posted to the RPG list compiled on my V5R2 machine.

Well, now I'm confused - I used your source on our V5R1 machine, and it 
compiled just fine. This looks like a bogus error. I suggest you call
IBM 
support, as this is not correct.

There is no VARCHAR data type in DDS, only A for character (actually, 
alpha). This is modified with a keyword to make the field
variable-length. 

The message says the type must be A, S, H, or G in position 35. Of
course, 

we don't have the source for the file in question, but these fields ARE 
character fields, and SST did work for me. And I'm not all that special.

Maybe others have ideas why this does not work for you.
