Reeve,

*LOVAL is a special value that depends on the data-type it is being assigned to / compared with. In an expression, the compiler has no idea what type to use, so it just fails.

You can do this-

AoRBN = *loval;
but not this:

AoRBN = (0 - *loval);

It looks like RPG doesn't understand casting or implicit conversions. I
know the workaround...
