Re: bif' %addr available in v4r4?

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

This should work just fine on V4R4...  The code was written/tested on 
V3R2, and later updated for V4R5, where it was re-tested.  (The RPG 
compiler didn't change between V4R4 and V4R5 -- so that shouldn't be an 
issue.)

Besides which...  the error (decimal data) doesn't normally indicate a 
missing feature.  It indicates bad data in the field.

I've run this program on my machine many times, at various releases, and 
haven't had the problem you describe.  Obviously, there's a bug 
somewhere, but I don't know where...

Can you show me how to reproduce the problem?  Or can you debug the 
program, and determine where the bad data is coming from?
