  Description of problem:
  
  
  After migration from 4GL to EGL, RCP application will fail to ru
  n with the error:
  
  com.ibm.javart.FatalException: EGL1227E The OpenUI field argumen
  ts are not valid.
  EGL0002I The error occurred in the MyProg program processing the
   main function.
  
  This is caused by an openUI statement of a ConsoleForm containin
  g a field like myField ConsoleField[1]
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1) create a form like
  package test;
  
  record MyDialog type ConsoleForm{formSize =[24, 80]}
  
      * ConsoleField{position =[2, 5], value = 'Title:  '};
      myField ConsoleField{
       name = 'myFieldName', position =[2, 20],
       fieldLen = 20};
  
      xfirm       ConsoleField[1]  { position = [3,49], fieldLen =
   4,  dataType = 'decimal(3,0)', highlight=[REVERSE], name='xfirm
  ' };
  
  
      theFields Dictionary {field1=myField,field2=xfirm};
  end
  
  2) create a program like
  
  program MyProg type BasicProgram{}
  
   function main()
    frm MyDialog {name='mydialog'};
    displayFormByName('mydialog');
    value decimal(3,0);
  
    openUI activeForm.theFields.field2 bind value
    end;
  
    SysLib.writeStdout(value);
   end
  end
  
  3) Run it as RCP: the error is raised
  
  4) Modify the consoleForm from
  xfirm       ConsoleField[1] ...
  to
  xfirm       ConsoleField ...
  
  5) Run it as RCP: it works
