RE: SQLRPGLE compiles on V5R4 but not on V6R1

We are migrating to V6R1 and a coworker says this code compiles on the
V5R4
box but not on the new one.


SQL0312 Variable wVar not defined or not usable.

P MyProc B
D Parm1 LIKE ( A field in a file declared in the F Specs ) CONST

D wVar S LIKE ( Parm1 )

/FREE
EXEC SQL
SELECT MyField INTO : wVar FROM MyTable
WHERE etc...;

To fix it, wVar was coded like this :
D wVar S LIKE ( A subfield of a global DS )

Looks like your coworker was (or should have been) incorrect. One should
not be able to alter the value of a constant parameter at any OS version.
I'm sure that if they CONST were dropped from the original (and all else
left the same) your result would have been good.
