Errors-To: [e-mail]

I took a *working* program from an Icon 8.9 environment and tried to run
it in a 9.0 environment. Now it wouldn't compile; icont complains:

pltodb.icn: Line 85 # :"d_bname": no record having this field is ever created
pltodb.icn: Line 86 # :"ie_short": no record having this field is ever created
pltodb.icn: Line 96 # :"d_bname": no record having this field is ever created

What!? I can't understand how icont arrives at this conclusion. There
are plenty of record-creating instances in the code. Line 85 contains
this construct:

   every (dsc := (!(ie_t|iegr_t))).d_bname == ie_type_name do {

i.e. a simple search through two tables for a record whose d_bname field
matches a certain string. Besides, the identical source code worked fine
and produced the expected results in the previous version of Icon.

Any light on this out there?

Platform: Sun SPARC under SunOS 4.1.4,
Icon Interpreter Version 9.0.  July 16, 1994.
