Re: Abnormal Compiler Behavior ?

I have the PR and PI in the same program.

One more thing to note is the file fields are zoned but the compiled version has PR and PI defined with packed fields.

This definition compiles!

Dcl-Pr SalaryCalc Packed(15:2);
Grade Char(1);
Level Packed(1);
#Exp Packed(2);
End-Pr;

This is the statement where parameter mismatch 2nd and 3rd parameter was provided by compiler with zoned fields.
#RecalcSalary = SalaryCalc(eGrade:eLevel:eExp);

Exactly as it is supposed to work.
The fields used in the calculations come from the database.
They are packed.
The fields used in the sub-procedure are zoned.
That is a mismatch.

If SalaryCalc() only references these variables, you could specify CONST
or VALUE on the definition. Then the compiler would do an internal CAST
during the calculations.
