RE: Compiler debug or undocumented limitation?

Cor,

 You're probably correct.  I just checked and this works too, which makes
sense.

FOR Idx = 1 TO %Int( %Elem( A ) / %Elem( B )) ;

 -mark

A division is not an integer value (might end up as 1,5). The FOR loop
only works with integer values as starting and ending values. %DIV
returns an integer value.

But, then again, I might be wrong.

Subject: Compiler debug or undocumented limitation?

  This code will not compile, despite the manual saying that
an expression is valid:

D A         S        1a     Dim( 100 )
D B         S        1a     Dim( 25 )
D Idx       S        5u0

  /Free
    FOR Idx = 1 TO %Elem( A ) / %Elem( B ) ;
    ENDFOR ;
    *INLR = *On ;
  /End-Free

  Changing this line from:

    FOR Idx = 1 TO %Elem( A ) / %Elem( B ) ;

  to:

    FOR Idx = 1 TO %Div( %Elem( A ): %Elem( B )) ;

  satisfies the compiler.  Adding parentheses to the first
example doesn't help.  Can someone explain why the first one
is invalid?
