Data type error: formal parameter &1 is of type &2
Help Document

Diagnosis

The syntax check found an error in an entry for a table/function. Formal parameter is not of the same data type as the argument , entered with it.

System Response

The cursor marks the entry for a table/function that is incorrect.

Procedure

A table is referred to by the keyword TABLE, the language-independent table name, and a list of arguments, each consisting of <Formal parameter = Arg>, for example:
TABLE TEST_TAB(COLOR='red', PRICE=PRICE_1)
COLOR and PRICE are formal parameters of the table, 'red' is a constant and PRICE_1 is a characteristic-specific variable.

A function is identified by the keyword FUNCTION. The other entries are the same as for a table, for example:
FUNCTION TEST_FUN(COLOR='red', PRICE=PRICE_1)
The data type of each argument must be the same as that of the formal parameter. If COLOR is an alphanumeric characteristic (CHAR) in table TEST_TAB, for example, you cannot enter a figure as an argument. Check argument for formal parameter and correct the error.
