BUG REPORT: function (n: LongCard): String(64); -- bug or not allowed?

24 May 2003

      Hi, Frank!

-------------------------------------------------------
program mirsad16(output);

function testproc (n: LongCard): String(64);
begin
  n := n;
  return 'OK';
end;

begin
  WriteLN (testproc (42));
end.
-------------------------------------------------------
bash-2.05b$ gpc -Wall mirsad16.pas
mirsad16.pas:4: warning: missing string capacity -- assuming 255
mirsad16.pas:4: parse error before `('

I couldn't find in reference docs whether this is actually banned by
specification, or is it a bug in parser.

Thanks,
Mirsad
