- I'm having a potentially simple, albeit boneheaded syntax problem that has me
- stumped. I wrote what I think is a simple program to generate a listing of
- network connections that we bill for here, and at the very beginning of the
- file I'm getting syntax errors. I must be doing forgetting something elementary
- as this happens near the beginning of the first pass of the compile.
-
- If I am doing something simple and stupid, I have to plead being a relative
- newcomer to 4GLs of any flavor, so no tongues of fire, please.
-
- I've included the piece of the program where I'm running into trouble:
-
- ================================================================================
- main
- define
- install record like inst_all.*
- port_map record like prt_jck.*
- |_______________________^
- |
- | A grammatical error has been found on line 14, character 25.
- | The construct is not understandable in its context.
- | See error number -4373.
-
- (It almost looks as though I need a comma or some other delimiter to separate
- the record definitions. Am I right?)
-
- declare
- i_curs cursor for
- select * from install
- p_curs cursor for
- select * from port_map
- ================================================================================
-
- The reason I've included the declare statements is that if it is a mindless
- type of error, then I suspect I'll run into the same problem with those.
-
- Any advice or constructive comment would be greatly appreciated. E-mail's
- okay - no need to tie up bandwidth.
