Looks to me like it is doing exactly what you would except. You are passing
the address of the variable and since you are passing the same variable it
is pointing at the same variable. When you clear it, you clear it. Again
what I said the other day. Lots of fun ways to bypass CONST. You just
tricked the compiler.

Hi, Birgitta:

Please show us what the line(s) of code that invokes this procedure
looks like?

It might also help to see what the " PR " definition - interface looks
like for this procedure.

Thanks,

Mark S. Waterbury

Hi,

I just run in the following situation:
I call a procedure that expects an input parameter and an output
parameter.
(The output value is only the revised input value).
The first parameter is passed by constant reference.
In the caller I specify the same variable for Input and Output parameter.

First thing that is done in the called procedure is, the output
parameter is
cleard.
I expected the content of the input parameter (even though the same
variable/address was passed) stays untouched.
... but after the clear both input and output parameters are empty!

I'm currently working on an 7.1 system.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Birgitta Hauser
