Re: Problem Clearing Procedure Parameters

Are the two parameter in procedure coded as a CONST?


5 >>> I have a program that has two internally defined procedures.
5 >>>
5 >>> Procedure #1 has two fields as input parameters, FIELDA and FIELDB,
both
5 >>> defined as CONST. In Procedure #1, the two input fields are moved
into
5 >>> two fields on a screen called SFIELDA and SFIELDB. If certain
conditions
5 >>> are met, Procedure #1 calls Procedure #2. In Procedure #2, the two
screen
5 >>> fields, SFIELDA and SFIELDB, are cleared. I noticed that the fields
5 >>> passed into Procedure #1, FIELDA and FIELDB are getting cleared at
the
5 >>> same time. I put the program in debug and verified this.
5 >>>
5 >>> How is this possible? First of all, I thought if a parameter to a
5 >>> procedure was defined as CONST, it couldn't be changed. I have
searched
5 >>> through the program to make sure there were no datastructures, etc.
that
5 >>> might be overlaying the fields and the DDS for the screen to make
sure
5 >>> the procedure parameters are not defined on a screen.
5 >>>
5 >>> Any advice and/or help would be greatly appreciated.
