HP PPL compiler big, nasty, hairy, smelly, creapy BUG!

[veeblefester]

Han, if this is not a bug then why the following unnecessary line

IF TYPE(var1)==2 THEN var1 := STRING(var1); END;

This line is saying if var1 is ALREADY a string (type 2) go ahead and convert it
to a string ANYWAY so the following EXPR line will work!

If this is necessary, this IS a bug that needs a work around.

Somebody tell me this is wrong.

Note: BOTH varptr and var1 were being input as strings.
