Re:

Johan,

This should not compile: you specify Key1 and Key2 as CONST parameters,
yet you CLEAR them. If you compiled without the CONST in the procedure
interface, the compiler would have no problems with the CLEAR statements,
but then you would get MCH3601 (Pointer not set ...) when calling with 3
parameters. Key2 is undefined, because you did not pass it.

I am puzzled !



I'm calling a subprocedure. This subprocedure has 4 parameters in its
procedure interface. Only the first is required, the three others have
the option *NOPASS.



D Patientadmit PI N

D Cazi Like(CaziDp) Const

D Date D Const Options(*Nopass)

D Key1 Like(Key1Dp) Const
Options(*Nopass)

D Key2 Like(Key2Dp) Const
Options(*Nopass)



D Datu S 8 0



/Free

If %Parms <= 2;

Clear Key1;

Clear Key2;

Endif;

If %Parms = 1;

Datu = %Int(%Char(%Date():*Iso0));

Else;

Datu = %Int(%Char(Date:*Iso0));

Endif ;



I'm calling this subprocedure in the following way :

C If PatientAdmit(CaziHo:%Date(DateHo:*Iso))

C ... Do some stuff

C EndIf



When I run this interactively, all goes well. However, if I run this in
batch, the procedure crashes on the "Clear Key2" statement, saying that
the pointer or location was not referenced.

What am I missing ?



Maybe, I have to say that the subprocedure is part of a service program
which is bound to the calling program.
