Re: Clear record format clearing parameter as well...

Robert,

The "CLEAR FOORDHD" is apparently clearing some global variables.

Is it possible that p_FONumber is viewing the same area of memory as one of the globals you cleared?

Just because p_FONumber provides read-only access to the underlying memory doesn't mean that the global variables are read-only, too.

Hi all,

I have a subprocedure to create an order header record.

When I put the program in debug a break just before the CLEAR FOORDHD
statement the p_FONumber parameter (a new order number) and p_BatchIdRec
(a record used to build a new order record) both have (correct) values.

When I issue the Clear foordhd statement (foordhd is the record format in
the file which I am building a new record for) the value for po_FONumber
is being set to 0 while p_BatchIdRec remains unchanged.

Can someone tell me why p_FONumber being changed?

Thanks,
