AREV32 compile problem. (Arev32)

When we converted AREV3.12 to AREV32 we thought all the programs that compiled compiled.
But finding out that in many cases it says it compiles but does not.
I found that if the following code is in AREV3.12 it works but in AREV32 it says it compiles but really it did not.
var1=oconv(var2,'numtochar_conv')
why did the mass switchover to AREV32 not catch this error?
or is some of this because of the debug not working in AREV32 just causes AREV32 to just crash and have to relaunch AREV32.

I suggest that you copy all of your user-defined conversion program, like this one, to OI. And then remove them from Arev32. Even best, move them to the OI SYSPROG application and compile them there. Same applies to all MFS that you write.
Also, if the name of the user-defined conversion program contains a dot, ".", then it will fail.

is arcane use of syntax. In fact, it's not very common.
Why not write your oconvs as functions, and deliver the output that way?

This code will compile just fine. But the compiler doesn't evaluate the numtochar_conv, the runtime does. So, did you compile numtochar_conv on it's own?

As I recall the ARev compiler wants the name of the user conversion to be in Upper Case. It will compile but not execute as record names are case sensitive. Could be the problem here.

The code is all in uppercase i just typed it in here in lower case…
I just ended up finding all the numtochar and do them a different way.
