Hi Lim -
midrange.com
Go figure these out:
This one failed to compile:
D ind1 c const(*on)
C if ind1
C endif
C eval *inlr = *on
This one compiled just fine:
D ind2 c const('1')
C if ind2
C endif
C eval *inlr = *on
Perhaps in the first example the compiler is creating a three-byte character constant that contains either '*ON' or '*on' rather than interpreting it as a true/false value and creating a one-byte character constant that contains '1'.
You can test this by creating a three-byte field, eval SUCCESSFUL into it when defined as const(*on) and see what the value of the field is.
