Hi all,

Even after reading the wonderful post re:EVAL(H) question at
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200908/msg00069.html , I'm not sure
about this one :

// Check if client was aged under 20
If = %subdt ( ContractStartDate : *YEARS) -
%subdt ( ClientBirthDate : *YEARS) <=20;

If the client is born AFTER the contract start date, I get an MCH1210.

Someone told me it's because RPG will create a temporary variable of the
same type as the operators to contain the result, ie, an integer, so as the
result is negative, it crashes.

I can get round my problem with %INT but I'd like an official confirmation
or explanation if possible. Anyone know where I that might be documented?

Thanks
