Re: Outline view bug?

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doug, just be mindful that IN is the name of an Opcode. (To input the 
contents of a Data Area.) It would seem that old-style D-specs allow 
this, but maybe the RDi parser is being a little over rigorous?

Just for information, free-format coding of this DS would require the 
use of the DCL-SUBF keyword:

            // Parser and compiler OK with this
     DDS1              DS                  Qualified
     D In                            10A

            // IN is an opcode - parser and compile error
         Dcl-DS DS2 Qualified;
            In Char(10);
         End-DS;

            // Parser and compiler OK with this
         Dcl-DS DS3 Qualified;
           Dcl-Subf In Char(10);
         End-DS;

However, I >am< getting all manner of RDi parser errors (and a lack of 
Outline content) when coding:

         DS1.In = 'One';
         DS3.In = 'Three';

(With DS2 commented out, it all compiles just fine.)  So RDi >really< 
doesn't like the use of IN as a variable name. I suspect there's a bug!
