Exactly, Vern. I am such a lousy typist that the first thing I do with a program that does not compile, is scan the listing for 7030 (undefined field) errors. Correcting those usually lets the program compile!

The = sign has precedence as a comparison operator - I think Jerry forgot to have the shift key down, he maybe meant this -


Lines(x) = %trim(city) + ', ' + state + ' ';

Ugh.. my wife just had eye surgery too (detached retina at 53yo! and now
because of that cataract surgery soon) Hope you're doing better.

Anyhow, I don't think it threw a compile error because it's really not an
error. I'm sure Barbara can chime in on the details.. .I ran some tests:

number = 1 + 3 = 9;

this DID get a compile error (number is defined as 10i 0).

string = 'test' + 'this' = ' ';

This compiled, but string = '0' (zero) when done.

Weird.

Boy, was I having a bad day today. Must be a result of the recent eye

Anyway, I got everything working in the new SQLRPGLE program, but one thing
is still puzzling me. That is, I would have thought would have thrown a
compile error.



Lines(x) = %trim(city) + ', ' + state = ' ';



The end result was that the Line(x) element resulted in blanks.



I can accuse the surgery for my part because I kept reading the second = as
a +. But why did I not get a compile error?
