Error description
In RBD 9.1.1 if the syslib.size has an argument which is part of an array element, an incorrect result is returned. Example: private Record tempArray type basicRecord 3 arrayGroup[42]; 6 list; 9 stuff char(2); end syslib.size(tempArray.list) returns 2 instead of the correct value 42.
Local fix
Use an array element rather than part of an array element.
