Another problem... with the following declaration, type RESOURCE_REC; type RESOURCE is access RESOURCE_REC; type RESOURCE_REC is record RESOURCE_NAME : FOO.NAME; ... end; procedure CREATE (NEW_RESOURCE : out RESOURCE; RESOURCE_NAME : in FOO.NAME) is begin NEW_RESOURCE := new RESOURCE_REC; NEW_RESOURCE.RESOURCE_NAME := RESOURCE_NAME; end CREATE; I get the following error (for the second assignment): 106 NEW_RESOURCE.RESOURCE_NAME := RESOURCE_NAME; ................1 %ADAC-E-READ, (1) Reading from subprogram 'out' formal NEW_RESOURCE at line 92 is not allowed Does this mean that my parameter declaration only allows me to assign a value to the pointer, not to the record pointed to? It seems to me that this error is not justified, as I am not reading anything from the NEW_RESOURCE parameter, but merely initializing (writing to) part of it. Also, with another compiler validated with ACVC 1.5, there is no error. Thanks, --Magnus Arpa: magnus@andrew.cmu.edu UUCP: seismo!andrew.cmu.edu!magnus
