Re: Syntax checking for Eval( h )

Hi Mark,

I tried this code on OS levels 7.3 and 7.4 and I get compile errors that match the verifier.

Dcl-s var int(10);
eval( h ) var = 10 / 2;
//eval(h) var = 10 / 2;
return;

Are you getting clean compiles with spaces?
I only get clean compiles and verifies without the spaces.

The Program verifier is created by the Compiler team and is generally in synch with current syntax.

If you do get different results, please contact IBM support so we can dig into this issue.

Thanks!

I'm adding the half adjust modifier to an Eval statement. If I enter it as Eval(h) is passes syntax checking. If I enter it as Eval( h ) RDi flags it with a couple of bogus errors (hovering over the red X to the left of the statement number). Is there a fix for this? I am on version 9.6.0.9 20201112_1147.
