In a message dated 09-18-99, Kees Wiegel said to All about "NoValue
condition"

Hi Kees,

KW>In the beginning of a ObjREXX programma I use the clause 
KW>'Signal on NoValue' to trap novalue conditions.

KW>Lateron in the same programma I fill an array using the following
KW>instruction:
KW>      BLogLines=WL.nn~MakeArray(Line)

KW>This causes a novalue condition for the variable LINE in the above
KW>clause.

KW>How come?

The variable LINE has not yet been assigned a value. However, it shouldn't
be a variable in this context.

KW>How to avoid?

Put LINE in apostrophes or quotes:

     BLogLines=WL.nn~MakeArray('Line')

It should really be a literal character string.

Regards

Dave
