Re: Using a literal in the CHAR keyword.

Would those two leading slashes mean that the first line is a comment?

I have a global constant:
//dcl-c MAX_ELEMENTS 50;

In a procedure, I have a variable:
dcl-s Weight char( MAX_ELEMENTS );

The program will not compile like that.
If I copy the constant into the procedure that uses it, it will compile. (The example is simple, but in reality there are about ten procedures that use the constant and I'm not eager to copy the one constant into each of those procedures.)

Does anyone know if there is a PTF available for this issue? I'm at 7.1.
