RPGIV Developers,
Can anyone tell me why %subst is not treated consistantly? %subst only works
with contiguous storage and it seems should be allowed anywhere that the first
argument could be used. For example, the following works:
EVAL %subst(fld: 1: 1) = 'A'
Why can't I use %subst(fld: 1: 1) for a parm that is passed by reference?
Isn't that functionally equivalent? It seems like this could work. I am
asking because if I pass a *varsize field by reference I cannot get the length
unless I pass the length as a separate parameter.
Just wondering
