Re: passing parameters longer than expected

The problem is the use of the CONST keyword. By specifying CONST you specifically told the compiler to ignore any data past the 40A; in effect, you asked it to do a MOVEL (or EVAL) of your 100A into a temporary 40A field and call with it. Had you not had CONST on the prototype, the compiler would have indeed complained.

Vern,

I passed data that was 50+ characters long in a 100A field to a
procedure expecting a 40A parameter field and lost the 10+ characters
at the end. If I'd tried to pass a variable of a different type, I'd
have known at the development stage and not, as it happened, during
testing.
