I ran across what I think is strange behavior in a sub-procedure.

I have a procedure with four parameters. The fourth, ForceRead, being defined with *NOPASS. Most calls to this procedure do not pass the ForceRead parameter, only those that require the data file be read to get any updated information. I am seeing a situation where the ForceRead parameter has a value of 1 in the called procedure even though it wasn't passed by the caller. Because ForceRead isn't being passed I expected to get something like a null pointer message. Can anyone explain this to me?


d GetLoanInformation...

d pi

d Found n

d Bank 3s 0 Const

d LoanNumber 12s 0 Const

d ForceRead n Options(*NoPass) Const



// Only chain to the loan master if working on a new loan

If (PreviousBank <> Bank or PreviousLoan <> LoanNumber) or

(%Parms > 3 and ForceRead);
