RE: Not valid? Dow (p = %scan( '~' : SPdetl : PosLastDelim + 1)) > 0;

I am attempting to combine
1) p = %scan( '~' : SPdetl : PosLastDelim + 1); and
2) Dow p > 0;
into:
Dow (p = %scan( '~' : SPdetl : PosLastDelim + 1)) > 0;

But this generates RNF7421 "Operands are not compatible with the type
of operator."

Is it because left side of the '>' translates to an indicator?

... maybe the arcitects of the rpg compiler should have had a look to other languages. Java for instance is using "==" for compares equal and "=" for an assignment, maybe the compiler is interpreting the "=" as comparison, as you are supposing.

Pushing the %scan down to another procedure with a boolean return value and modifying a global var is corrupting readability.
