I am trying to do a TO_ADDRESS type conversion while using XDADA. The two
parameter types supported by the compiler are {universal integer} and
ADDRESS_INT.

ADDRESS_INT is too short to be used and universal integer relies on  the
parameter being a named-number.

The existing code uses named numbers as constants without types in the
declaration. They of course adopt the universal integer and everything is
fine.

I need to modify the code and add offsets taken from an array to this value
and the compiler doesn't like it because the parameter is no longer of type
universal-integer. The way I understand it is that universal integer applies
to named-numbers only. Is it possible to declare any array of constants
which will adopt the universal integer type ? Or can anyone help with an
alternative ?

Any help much appreciated
