>From the Edge: Finding Mismatched Variable
Chapter:                Forms/Reports/Labels
Section:                Running R:BASE Your Way!
Platform:               R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) DOS/Windows 
Build:                  1.848xRT03 and Higher ... 
===================================================================

Many times we face a situation where we either do not predefine 
the variable(s) required in expressions or the data type does not 
match the one pre-defined or already defined in expressions in 
Forms, Reports or Labels. 

Well, the upcoming inline patch-1 (almost version 6.6) for R:BASE 
2000 (ver 6.5++) users, includes the enhancement of displaying the 
exact name of mismatched variable.

The two most common -ERROR- messages (480 and 2178) are related 
to such conditions.

Example 01:

Your value does not have the same data type as your variable
'VariableName' (480)

Example 02:

Your value does not have the same type of scale as your variable
'VariableName' (2178)
