Probably won't accept the idea but I find these things are a whole lot
easier using %SCANRPL. Just a simple string with no embedded quotes.

dcl-s Message VarChar(512);

Message = '*** <P> = Price Change Report has completed for Customer # <C>.';
Message = %ScanRpl('<P>': %trim(sdprogram): Message);
Message = %ScanRpl('<C>': %trim(%editc(e1cust : 'X')): Message);
wrt_job_log(Message);

It occurs to me that you could write a function in a service program to do
the formatting in one line of code.

I have a piece of code that compiles with no errors. It runs, but doesn't
do anything.

Here is the code:


wrt_job_log('*** ' + %trim(sdprogram) = ': Price Change Report ' +
'has completed for Customer #' +
%trim(%editc(e1cust : 'X')) + '.');


I accidentally typed an equal sign and it should be a plus sign right
before the colon. The compiler took it, compiled it with no error, but
when the program gets to the line, it doesn't write a job log entry.

Once I saw the problem, I changed the = to a plus, recompiled and reran.
There is now an entry in the joblog.

Prototype wrt_job_log accepts a CHAR(512) field with CONST defined.

Is this a compiler bug?
