#739 MOVE LENGTH OF field of Typedef produces error at compile time

[Sebastian Steinweg]

Hi GnuCOBOL team,

if you define a typdef with a pic x field and use it in combination with move length of syntax you got an error at compile time, that this field is not declared.

Please take a look in the attached testcase while using command:

cobc -x tc2016.cbl

Kind regards

This would be fixed by removing the following lines on tree.c, but it makes the error message for [bugs:#740] even worse...

            /* ignore sub-items of typedefs */
            if (fld->parent != NULL && cb_field_founder (fld)->flag_is_typedef) {
                continue;
            }
