Chris We have 7.30.uc5 tools on Solaris 2.6. This value displayed is 3 No problem here. Either the Linux port or your environment?

The following code demonstrates this: DEFINE func ARRAY[1000] OF RECORD kn SMALLINT, descn CHAR(40) END RECORD LET func[1].kn=3 LET func[1].descn="" DISPLAY func[1].kn The value will appear as 8195. ( func[1].kn=1 gives 8193 ). It only happens if you assign descn="" not " " or NULL or another value. It appears that desc="" clobbers the smallint in the array. It also happens when other vars are declared in the record and for all array indexes. Can anyone else reproduce this with that tool version? Regards, Chris.
