RE: Compile failed when try to do return not SUCCESSFUL whereSUCCESSFULis declared as const

Yes.  Return without the 'not' work.  I just curious as why I cannot do
"return not constIndicator" 

Below is an example to return by const number and it compiles just fine:
D NUM50           c                   const(50)         
                                                        
D proc1           pr             2  0                   
                                                        
C                   eval      *inlr = *on               
                                                        
 *------------------------------------------------------
 * test return with constant number
P proc1           B                                     
D                 pi             2  0                   
                                                        
C                   return    NUM50*(-1)                
P proc1           E                                     

If I can do above, I would think I should also be able to do the same on
indicator.  Don't you wish the compiler would act just what you think it
should :).

Lim,

You need to add:

D FAILED          c                   const(*off)


Then you'll be able to do 

     return    FAILED;


HTH,
