I'm getting a non numeric data error when passing a number as the list name to the following routines:

SAVE_SELECT

ACTIVATE_SAVE_SELECT

DELETE_SAVE_SELECT

If  a non numeric list name is used then everything works fine.

The following example will cause my system (OI 3.2) to break to the debugger with DELETE_SAVE_SELECT, Line 1, non numeric data. Ironic when you see that its actually a number thats passed to it.



access=SELECT FILENAME"

repname=1"

call RLIST(ACCESS, 5, '', '', '')

call DELETE_SAVE_SELECT(REPNAME)

call SAVE_SELECT('', REPNAME, '', '')



Does anyone know why this happens? The on line help doesn't mention any restrictions on the parameters passed to these routines.

<QUOTE>Paul,



There were several problems with these routines in the version you are using (3.2).  These routines have been completely updated since then.
