Re: Bug or Feature or missing PTF? Parameter passed by constant reference gets cleared!

Hi,

I just run in the following situation:
I call a procedure that expects an input parameter and an output parameter.
(The output value is only the revised input value).
The first parameter is passed by constant reference.
In the caller I specify the same variable for Input and Output parameter.

First thing that is done in the called procedure is, the output parameter is
cleard.
I expected the content of the input parameter (even though the same
variable/address was passed) stays untouched.
... but after the clear both input and output parameters are empty!

I'm currently working on an 7.1 system.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
