Correct. The first argument to INC must be a variable. The first argument that you specified is CARDINAL(code) which is not a variable. It's an expression. You may want to declare code as a variant record so that you can access it as any data type you want. Alternatively, you could use code := BITSET(CARDINAL(code)+1) to do what you want. -- Dave Seaman ags@j.cc.purdue.edu
