Alternatively place the definitions ELEVEL and EEXP in a DS in which case the compiler will honour the format on the file and keep the fields as zoned.

Dcl-ds RetiainFormatFor;
ELEVEL;
EEXP;
End-ds;

But as Buck says - it has _always_ worked this way. Absolutely nothing to do with free-format declarations. Code it in pieced form and you'll see the exact same behaviour.

Guys,

I was working on writing few completely free programs and stumbled upon this. Despite my prototype and file fields matching it kept complaining about the parameter mismatch for 2nd and 3rd parm.

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


Dcl-PI *N Packed(15:2);
Grade Char(1);
Level Zoned(1);
#Exp Zoned(2);
End-PI;

Definition in file:

A ELEVEL 1S 0
A EEXP 2S 0


I had to change the Level and #EXP field to packed and it compiled fine.

Am I missing this.
