DEPRECATION: Consider using a variable-length 'string' instead of a fixed-length 'alpha' for alphanumeric variables
This is my code please
Code: Select all
alpha(string) cod_oper, x; { Operator code }
alpha(1) scode; { serial code to retrieve the operator id }
How can I help this please?

Do not use variables of type alpha. So instead of:
alpha(10) myvariable;
use
string myvariable;
With string you do not need to worry about the length. It will grow to be as big as it needs to be to handle whatever value you assign to it.
