I have added a call to a 4D Component which calls a method in the host DB. That host DB method has its "Shared by components and host database" attribute checked. Both component and host db are uncompiled. Both are syntax checked. The host method tests successfully when called by code in the host.
When the host DB method is called by an object method in the component, the syntax errors "The command cannot be applied between two Alphanumeric arguments." and "Argument types are incompatible." are generated. The language reference explains that parameters in methods shared by components and host need to be pointers so I have made them pointers and declared them as such. The pointers reference global variables. If, I step into the debugger via trace the arguments look good to me. They dereference to the text values which I expect. I don't understand the syntax errors. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
