Why the rc is a big number in STAF 3.4.8?

[SparkFan]

Hi folks,

Why the rc is a big number in STAF3.4.8 instead of 0 in STAF3.4.1?
Is it designed, or a bug?

408:       my $result = STAFExecuteCmd(Cmd => "RESOLVE STRING {$var}",
409:                                   Service => "VAR",
410:                                   Host => $host);

  DB<4> x $result
0  STAF::STAFResult=HASH(0x9d918a4)
   'rc' => 13816197273337462784    <===== It was 0 in STAF3.4.1
   'result' => 'Linux'
   'resultContext' => STAF::STAFMarshallingContext=HASH(0x9d906fc)
      'mapClassMap' => HASH(0x9d904e0)
           empty hash
      'rootObject' => 'Linux'
   'resultObj' => 'Linux'

DB<11> x $var
0  'STAF/Config/OS/Name'

Thanks,

The result is still 0 for a successful VAR RESOLVE request in STAF V3.4.8. 

For example, if I run the following Perl program using STAF V3.4.8 to resolve the {STAF/Config/OS/Name} variable, it shows the RC is 0.  Try running this Perl program to see if the RC is 0.

use PLSTAF;
my $handle = STAF::STAFHandle->new("Test");
if ($rc != $STAF::kOk) {
    print "Error registering with STAF, RC: $STAF::RC\n";
    exit $rc;
}
my $var = "STAF/Config/OS/Name";
my $machine = "local";
my $service = "VAR";
my $request = "RESOLVE STRING {$var}";
my $stafCmd = "STAF $machine $service $request";
print "$stafCmd\n";
my $result = $handle->submit($machine, $service, $request);
print "RC: $result->{rc}, Result: $result->{result}\n";
$rc = $handle->unRegister();
if ($rc != $STAF::kOk) {
    print "Error unregistering with STAF, RC: $STAF::RC\n";
}

When I run it, the RC from submitting the VAR RESOLVE request is 0:

# perl TestVar.pl
STAF local VAR RESOLVE STRING {STAF/Config/OS/Name}
RC: 0, Result: Linux

I meant, the RC (not result) is still 0 for a successful VAR RESOLVE request.
