i changed all the long definitions to int and replaced poplong by popint and everything is working again (at least on the new platform). But what i don't understand is, that poplong doesn't do the necessary conversation. According to the 4GL/ESQL doc's passing parameters in 4GL is not just pushing the value on the stack but also the datatype. The pop functions then do conversations. So it should be possible to popqoute an integer value into a string. Why doesn't poplong convert the (32bit) integer from 4GL to C (64bit) long value automatically? Greetings, Joerg
