That's funny. When I ran it, my screen turned red and the words REDRUM started flashing on my screen. jbh -----Original Message----- From: owner-rpg400-l@midrange.com [mailto:owner-rpg400-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Bruce Collins Sent: Monday, April 03, 2000 8:49 AM To: RPG400-L@midrange.com Subject: RE: Questions When I compiled and ran it.

Why - well ..... c MOVEA *ON *IN First the MOVEA will place '1' in every position in the *IN array - in other words every indictor from 01 to 99 will be turned on. C EVAL RES=(VAR1>VAR2) + *IN35 The expression VAR1 > VAR2 is true since VAR2 is treated as containing 'R' followed by 49 blanks and 'RE' is higher up the collating sequence than 'R '. That logical expression being true renders a '1' since a logical expression is equivalent to an indicator which in RPG can be treated as a character field. For the same reason *IN35 renders a '1' since it was turned on by the MOVEA. So '1' + '1' = '11' !!!! I can only hope that this is some kind of "lets see who can write the most stupid obscure code in the world" contest because if I ever caught anyone programming like this I'd fire them! +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
