To all,

I was looking at the help for Common in OI and it recommended that one put the Common declaration in the Insert record. I was modifying an R/Basis (in AREV) and in the process breaking the program into multiple "called" modules to ready it for OI. That is, when I tried to bring the program in the OI System Editor nothing shows up since the source is 64K.

Anyway back to the problem, when I put one Common Statement in an Insert Record and modified relevant programs, ran a test, it worked. However, when I put multiple Labeled Commons into the Insert record, when I run test under AREV, I get "undefined" messages at debugger.

My question is this: Is one limited to only one Common Declaration in an Insert record? I'm asking this question, because it would be easier for me if I could put multiple Common statements into an Insert record. Therefore, if it's possible, but I'm doing something wrong, I will continue to look. However, if it's not possible, then I'll know what I need to do.

Thanks for any comments on this.

P.S. I will post this on the otherside as well.

Ray,

If I understand you correctly this should be no problem. Here is a test I just did…

First I created the following insert:

Compile insert MyTest

common /Test1/ Test11@, Test12@, Test13@

common /Test2/ Test21@, Test22@, Test23@

common /Test3/ Test31@, Test32@, Test33@

Then I create the following routine:

Compile subroutine Test(Void)

$insert MyTest

Test11@=11

Test12@=12

Test13@=13

Test21@=21

Test22@=22

Test23@=23

Test31@=31

Test32@=32

Test33@=33

return

Compiling and running gave me no problems whatsoever. I even debugged the code and watched my labelled common variables get updated one at a time.

Multiple labelled commons are ok.

the format should be something like..

common /test1/var1@

common /test2/var2@

common /test3/var3@,orwhatever@

Maybe you misspelt a variable name.

Ray,

Sorry, the above code example was performed in OpenInsight. I figured out you were trying to get this to work in AREV. Actually, it does work in AREV also. However, AREV does not accept the insert header.

Don/Paul:

Thanks for the input. I went back, rechecked the programs, made some changes, and recompiled them. You're right. You can have mulitple common statements in an Insert record.
