Anyone know what this means? It is a message from your C compiler that some function is so long that the optimizer became confused trying to eliminate Common Sub-Expression redundancy. Either ignore it, write smaller functions (though I suspect a 4GL report module which are always quite large), or get a better compiler (ala GNU C). Art S. Kagel
