PB 12.6 B#4081 variable declare with assignment bug or what ?s

[Former Member]

I have code in PB 12.5.1 (B#4015) that works as BOOLEAN lb_false = FALSE, lb_true = TRUE.

The same code in PB 12.6 B#4081 had the value of lb_true = FALSE after execution of the above statement (see attached).

I assume this is a bug and that a better standard maybe should be used.  Another person and now I can't seem to reproduce the issue though.

This is running in development mode under a VM environment connected to source control using Serena PVCS V8 4.4.0 B#021.

Hum, maybe a hidden character or just a rough memory day.  Any feedback appreciated as always.

Maybe a better standard?

BOOLEAN lb_false, lb_true

lb_false     = FALSE

lb_true     = TRUE

OR

just forget the local variable in this case and use FALSE or TRUE in coding such as

RETURN TRUE instead of RETURN lb_true

I forget, is there a place to see the reported and verified PB 12.6 bugs?

Hi Da,

Have tried to replicate in same build of 12.6 as yours.  Unable to get same result!!!!

The only thing I can suggest is to check if there are declarations somewhere else of a variable of the same the same name... You could also have ib_true and in your code typed Ib_true (1) not lb_true (2)..(first is an uppercase i and second is a lower case l impossibIe to see the difference)

But to answer your OR question:  Yes! forget the local variables, they are not needed. lb_true?
