SV: Data expression error and data conversion error

[Jari.S.Kaljunen@telia.se]

It is possible to have data expression error  even with alphanumeric 
fields.  Look at the code example. 

screen a
file xxx
def a char*4 = "abcd"

def b char*1 = a[-1:1]

field b

go 

 
By the way, it would buy a Powerhouse license for Linux. Cognos, when 
will  you offer it ?

Good mornings folks,

The latest problem I am encountering is where the error message Data
expression error or Data conversion error appears at the bottom of the
screen. All the data on the screen is alphanumeric so I do not think it 
is
an alpha in a numeric field and all the data displayed is correct. 
However
the appearance of the message is very disconcerting. Has anybody seen 
this
type of error message? Do you know what I need to do to prevent it?

our development environment is Axiant 4Gl version 2.03 for a VMS.
