I think it's a universe/unidata difference. I get the segmentation fault
running unidata in ecl type U as well.
Here's some interesting info and an ugly hack--in unidata.
Apparently, the keywords SUBROUTINE and FUNCTION are interchangable as
far as BASIC is concerned, so create a subroutine
SUBROUTINE MYHACK(A,B)
A=B*2 ;* note that we both assign the result
to a parameter AND return the result
RETURN A
Then you can call it as a function with
PROGRAM HACKTEST
DEFFUN MYHACK(A,B)
CRT MYHACK('',2) ;* <--- there's the hack. You need that
placeholder parameter
Or use it as a subroutine:
PROGRAM HACK2
CALL MYHACK(A,2)
CRT A
Or from a virtual attribute:
I
SUBR('MYHACK',EXTRACT(@RECORD,1,0,0))
