Re: Allocate field with options(*nopass :*omit)

I thought this would be a nice method, so I checked the V5R3 Info Centre 
earlier and it said the same thing - when the parameter to %addr() is a 
parameter defined with the const parameter, the %addr() is only valid in a 
comparison expression.

On a side note, I avoid *OMIT like the plague.  Lim - maybe your procedure 
is doing too much and should be broken down into smaller procedures which 
have only required varibles? Or perhaps you can use *NOPASS?  *NOPASS is 
so much easier to deal with than *OMIT, at least IMHO.

AFAIK as of V5R2 the %ADDR() BIF of a CONST parameter can only be 
used in a boolean expression and that it still can't be used in an EVAL.

  It depends on what release you're targeting the compile.
  If you're on V5.2 or later, I believe it works. It should/does work on 

V5.3.

  It was supposed to work on V3.7 but nobody complained until long 
after V5.1 was
  out.
