History

#1 Updated by Constantin Asofiei about 11 years ago

File ca_upd20130308f.zip added

4GL allows extent vars/fields to be used in a PUT statement:

def var i as char extent 5.
def stream rpt.

output stream rpt to a.txt.

i[1] = "1".
i[2] = "2".
i[3] = "3".
i[4] = "4".
i[5] = "5".

put stream rpt i[1] i[2] i[3] i[4] i[5].
put stream rpt i.

find first person.
put stream rpt person.schedule.

output stream rpt close.

For such extent cases, the var/field needs to be expanded during post-parse-fixups. Note that dynamic extent vars can not be used in this case.

The attached update solves this, and is going through conversion regression testing.

Had a regression (didn't handle the case when the PUT used a subscripted field). Back in regression testing.

Code Review:

Could we have added this as an additional case in annotations/array_expansion.rules?

#4 Updated by Constantin Asofiei about 11 years ago

I had a feeling there was another file where this was done already for some other cases, but my brain chose to ignore it. Yes, we can add it to array_expansion, to have all in one place. Although, on a second thought, I can't tell how easy will be to integrate it with the logic in array_expansion, not just copy-paste it from the the file to this one.
