Re: Why would this statement fail?

James

In debug, do a hex display of "path" and see what the first 2 bytes have in them - how is that variable populated? It can make a difference with VARYING.

-------------- Original message ----------------------
From: James Lampert <jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Given that "path" is 32767A, and VARYING, and that POS is either 10I or
29P 0, why would

eval pos = %scan('?': path) - 1

give an MCH1201 error when executed?

Compiler is V4R2; OS is V4R4. Also fails under V4R5. Also fails if
"path" is 255A VARYING.
