[Stackoverflow] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Why can't I open a *.w file in the appBuilder?

[Dominique]

I have a *.w file, referring to two include files ({incl\include_file.i}, {incl\do_something_file.i}). That first include-file contains the definition of a RECID variable "recordid":

  DEF INPUT-OUTPUT PARAMETER recordid      AS RECID.

I am capable to compile the *.w file, the listing file looks as follows: (just a fragment)

Prompt>findstr "recordid zoekcb" listing.txt
...
 1    x       DEF INPUT-OUTPUT PARAMETER recordid      AS RECID.
...
 1    x   1   {incl\do_something_file.i
 2    x   1 INPUT-OUTPUT recordid

So, the compilation works. In top of that, I've checked the pairs of "&ANALYZE-SUSPEND" and "&ANALYZE-RESUME" clauses and everything is fine.

Nevertheless, I can't open the *.w file, as the mentioned RECID seems not to be known (errors 201 and 196).

Does anybody have an idea what's going wrong?
