Hello Everybody! I ran into an odd problem (at least I think it is odd) a couple of days ago. I was making some program changes using variable length fields in RPGIV. The changes included using eval and *blanks to initialize the variable. When I tried to run the program, it crashed. I used debug to see what was going on because the code looked good to me and I was surprised to find that eval varylen = *blanks resulted in a value of '############## for varylen instead of ' '. I modified it to use the move opcode instead and it worked. I then tried, unsuccessfully, to see if this "peculiarity?" is documented anywhere. Has anyone else run across this before? Am I the only one who thinks that this is weird? 73, Jack Mullins Sunergoline P.O.
