RE: Compile failed when try to do return not SUCCESSFULwhere SUCCESSFULis declared as const

Uummm.  If the compiler is not sicked, then why it let me return a char
when the prototype says it should return a indicator?

No because now it's a Char constant.

Barbara: I think complier is sick....
It compiled when I change SUCCESSFUL to const('1')

Below actually compile
D SUCCESSFUL      c                   const('1') 
D proc1           pr              n 
 
C                   eval      *inlr = *on 
 *------------------------------------------------------ 
 * test return with not SUCCESSFUL 
P proc1           B 
D                 pi              n 
 
C                   return    not SUCCESSFUL 
P proc1           E

D SUCCESSFUL      c                   const(*on) 
D proc1           pr              n 
 
C                   eval      *inlr = *on

C                   return    not SUCCESSFUL 
P proc1           E 

 
I'm getting this:
Msg id  Sv Number Seq     Message text

RNF7421 30     12 001200  Operands are not compatible with the type of
operator.

 
If I changed SUCCESSFUL to be a variable, it compile ok.   Any reason
why I can't do "return not constBoolean"?
