RE: Operands are not compatible with the type of operator

Gary,

I think you can't get the %len() of a constant:

From WDSCi's help:

%LEN (Get or Set Length)
%LEN(expression)%LEN can be used to get the length of a variable expression or to set the current length of a variable-length field.

The parameter must not be a figurative constant.

For more information, see Size Operations or Built-in Functions.

Subject: Operands are not compatible with the type of operator

Could someone please show me what is wrong with this code?

I'm getting an error saying:
" 021800 Operands are not compatible with the type of operator. "

The code is:
D LastFirst s 41a Varying
D ShiftRepl s like(LastFirst)
D Quote C ''''
D ReplaceWith C '_'
D Pos s 5i 0
0217.00 C Eval ShiftRepl = %replace(ReplaceWith:
+
0218.00 C LastFirst: Pos: %len(Quote))

I can't see the problem for some reason.
This is running on v4r4

Thanks,

Gary Kuznitz
