Re: AW: %Addr() on Const parm @v4r5

All,

For what it's worth, I always do this for my optional parms declared as *
const* and it works like a charm (v5r4 and v5r3 prior to that):

if %parms > *zero and %addr( parm ) <> *null;
...
endif;

You cannot assign the %addr() to a variable, nor can you base anything on
that %addr() (unless you fool the compiler), but you should be able to use
it as a temporary value in an expression.

Yes, it ran fine @ 5.2.

OK, I just checked V5R2 using this URL:

Nothing in there about this. The closest there is (which is also in the

V5R3

manual) is this:

"If the variable is specified as a PARM of the *ENTRY PLIST, %ADDR returns
the address passed to the program by the caller."

It compiled, but did it run?

Could be :) I won't even check to the V5R2 manual online, because it

uses a

Java applet which takes an *age* to load.

Rory,

That's interesting, because I was able to compile it (in free
format) at v5r2. Could it have been an undocumented feature then?
