could 'type' be a macro? what happens if you double click on pernr#TYPE?

Wow, you wouldn't think that you could use a reserved word in a macro def. This really is not a good thing. I'm with Neil, it could be a macro.



report zrich_0001.

data: pernr#type(10) type c,
      pa0000-pernr type pa0000-pernr.

define type.

write:/ &1, &2.

end-of-definition.

pernr#type = 'This'.
pa0000-pernr = '123456'.


TYPE pernr#TYPE pa0000-pernr.
