Uggggh. Without the source code for the I4GL, it'll be difficult to get very far with this, but I think the following statements can be made: * You have an array called ticket_arr which is defined as ticket_arr ARAY[50] OF RECORD LIKE ticket_list{?}.* * You have a fetch statement (possibly an implicit one in a FOREACH loop), which reads: INTO ticket_arr[x].lot_code * This occurs at line 119 in file ticket_list.4gl. * You are compiling with the -a flag now (deduced from the presence of the call to b_chk, and then observed on your command line, so not too many marks for billiance just there). I would hazard a guess that when you previously compiled this code, you were not using the -a option. The error is in your C compiler: it is baulking on what is legitimate (but very complex) C syntax. Try recompiling without the -a flag.
