 <title>Of char and longchars</title>
 <link>http://www.oehive.org/node/1209</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Came across an interesting thing today. The following code works fine in 10.1C, but not in 10.1B:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
FUNCTION Test RETURNS LOGICAL (p_Data AS LONGCHAR):&lt;br /&gt;
     RETURN YES.&lt;br /&gt;
END FUNCTION.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MESSAGE Test(&quot;data&quot;) VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFORMATION.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;looks as if 10.1C can mix and match char with longchar, something that I&#039;ve always wanted to do since longchar became available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seems as if Progress are making changes to the language for the better. Now, if only they had a 4GL way to deal with sockets, instead of all this READ-RESPONSE-PROCEDURE and memory pointers etc !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;ul class=&quot;links&quot;&gt;&lt;li  class=&quot;first last og_links&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/node/213&quot; class=&quot;og_links&quot;&gt;Miscellaneous Group&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
