Library /sys$common/syshlp/basichelp.hlb Compile time errors, LANFEADEC  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  INFORMATION - This error is reported  only  when  the  /FLAG=DECLINING
  qualifier  is in effect.  The program contains a language feature that
  is not recommended for new program development, for example, the FIELD
  statement.   Use  MAP,  MAP  DYNAMIC,  and REMAP statements instead of
  FIELD, EDIT$ rather than CVT$$, and overlaid MAPs  rather  than  CVTxx
  functions.
