Anyone know why the code below does not compile in the free version of uniface.
Is it a bug or is it a feature... that is the question :-)
It appears that 'any' works in the variables but not in the params in uniface 10.4.03 free addition
Params numeric
pTask: in
any test :in
EndParams

HI,
The documentation :
The Any data type can only be used in component variables, global variables, and entries (global or local Proc modules).
Don't talk about Operation....

Doesn't compile in the paid version either. Error message indicates the any type is explicitly denied to parameters.
The following compiles.
operation test params numeric pTask: in $tester$ : IN endparams endWhere $tester$ is declared as an 'any' component variable. But I haven't tested it to see if it actually works.
You COULD try replacing the any with a struct, and using uniface's inherent conversions to put an 'any' variable into a struct leaf, and then back again into an 'any' variable in the proc.

Iain

The worrying thing is it works in 10.4.02 as a parameter variable.
So, I am not sure if the change was intentional or accidental.
If it is used in many cases then a correction will be very problematic and potentially break things.

Thanks Iain, for now I will wait on uniface to respond, but some good alternatives.
It says it is used in parameters for functions so maybe it's more a bug than a feature
Use in the params blocks of functions

Hi Osman,
I am a little late to the conversation. I have tried this on 9.7 and found that a parameter of type any on an operation causes an error to be thrown by the compiler. How far back are you seeing this working?
