Re: How do you pass an omitted parameter to a procedure?

Thank you to everyone who responsed to my survey. Now that I slept about
it and read your emails I just responded to IBM to change the compiler. It
is no option for me to live with the inconsistence between the compiler
and RDi even if that change causes a lot of work for me and my colleagues.
I do not believe that IBM will change RDi to accept the '*'. Frankly I am
not sure that even I would change RDi if I was in charge for it.

Regards,

Thomas.

Gesendet von: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx


This is a survey that I started as a result of an APAR that I opened at
IBM. The actual problem I have is that RDI 9.0 issues a warning for the
following statements and therefore does not automatically refresh the
"Outline" view.

sendMessage(*: THIS); // - unexpected token(s) ignored
sendMessage('Hello': *); // - unexpected token(s) ignored
sendMessage(*); // cannot detect whether or not it is
// a procedure call or an indexed array
sendMessage(); // legal statement

Now IBM says that the compiler causes the problem, because actually it
should not accept the '*' as a replacement for '*omit'. Finally they

asked

me whether or not I want to open an APAR to fix the compiler. Since
changing the compiler would cause a lot of work for us I am not sure

what

to do and I like to know whether or not you were affected when IBM

changed

the compiler.

Please select:

[ ] Not affected, let IBM change the compiler

or

[ ] STOP, never change the compiler

Feel free to add additional comments.

Thank you.

Thomas.
