IDE do not validate index greater on substring

  • 1.  IDE do not validate index greater on substring

    Posted Sun November 22, 2015 03:57 PM

    RBD 9.1.1

    I have a sample substring statement:

    a char(78) = "SUBSTRING STATEMENT";

    b char(100) = a[1:79];

    No error is marked in IDE and just error when generating:

    IWN.VAL.5801.e 278/0 The index 79 cannot be greater than 78.

    IDE Works as designed ?

    That particular check is not made until the preprocessor time. That seems to be where the code was added. 

    So, this is works as designed.
