%Dec and UTF-16 fields ...


Using Scott's Expat parser with UTF-16 it seems the compiler dont
like the use of %Dec with UTF-16 fields as first parameter (V5R3M0).

D XMLdata s 16383C

XmlData = %Ucs2(XmlDoc);
(XmlDoc is a varying field I receive inside a record from another place)

P start B
D start PI

D attrVal s 100C varying
D attrValA s 100A varying

Ex. with attrVal as a UTF-16 field:
if %char(Field) = 'Type';
AvType = %dec(attrVal : 2 : 0);
*RNF0327 30 1 The first parameter for %DEC or %DECH is not valid.


Ex. with attrValA as a chr. field:
if %char(Field) = 'Type';
attrValA = %char(attrVal);
AvType = %dec(attrValA : 2 : 0);
Compiles and behave as expected ...

Any comments or insight to this behavior :-)

Regards,
Leif
