As an intermediate solution, use DEFINE i SMALLINT which produces the correct code, or don't use an explicit increment or decrement, which evades the problem because a simple "fgl_fr3 = 1;" is emitted. As a longer term solution, get 4.12 when it is available. I have entered bug 20940 for this problem and it is now fixed in the main source code. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
