We hear you and are discussing the problem and solutions.



I understand that - and I really think they should have defined the conversion rules from the start on BOOLEAN



true / *on

- for numeric = 1

- for CHAR(1) = '1'

- for CHAR(>1) = 'TRUE'



false / *off

- for numeric = 0

- for CHAR(1) = '0'

- for CHAR(>1) = 'FALSE'



That would have solved the problem in the first place - would be fully compatible with the conversion from numeric/char to BOOLEAN - and backwards compatible.



But the pre-compiler team has not always been in-line with everything "IBM i" ...



Jon, have you heard something back from your support case? Do you think it would help, if more people open a case?



Regards,

Daniel
