  BASIC ACCVIO, Memory Management Violation? 
 The Question is:
 
DEC BASIC V1.3-000 (ident from linker map)
 
Code fragment from small BASIC FUNCTION...
 
        DECLARE INTEGER II
        DECLARE INTEGER JJ
        DECLARE INTEGER MATCHED
        DECLARE STRING NAMBITS(1 TO 6)
        DECLARE STRING TMP
 
        NAMBITS(1)="TEST"
 
When compiling with:
 
   bas/opt=LEVEL=2 SUB_MATCH_TRUSTEES.BAS
 
where LEVEL is 2 or higher the following INFORMATIONAL messages are issued a
 number of times:
 
        NAMBITS(1)="TEST"
 
%BASIC-I-UNINIT, variable  is fetched, not initialized
at line number 59 in file
 TRU$DEVICE_LIBRARY_SCR:[AC.BOOT.RLS]SUB_MATCH_TRUSTEES.BAS;37

(1) The 'error' seems to make absolutely no sense.
(2) Rearranging code can move the 'error' line but it always seems associated
 with a reference to the string array.
(3) Compiling /NOOPT results in a correctly functioning program.
 
Any idea what's going on???
 
Many thanks in advance.

 The Answer is :
 
  Please upgrade your BASIC compiler to a more current release.
 
  As should be obvious, this appears to be a bug within the compiler.
 
  As the compiler involved is far from current, an upgrade is strongly
  encouraged.
 
  This appears to be similar to a known issue that was reported and
  subsequently resolved roughly five years ago, and specifically with
  an ECO update (BASAE01013) to V1.3.  Please do not search for this ECO,
  as the V1.3 compiler and this ECO are no longer current; the current
  BASIC compiler version (as of this writing) is V1.5, and that version
  includes the BASAE01013 changes.
