I'm trying to test a bug report for Aubit4GL - can someone with Informix 4GL try this code : main define xdate date let xdate="31/31/31" display xdate end main Does it error out - or just display xdate as being null (ie blank) and not say anything? Aubit currently errors out : Err:Program stopped at 't1.4gl', line number 4. Error status number -30087. Error in conversion. 4gl function call stack : MAIN (Although you could obviously "whenever error continue" over it) Which is what I thought Informix 4GL would do....
