Re: OVERLOAD matching: varchar(10) & varchar(20)

Well - that might help now, but it might also cause problems in the future when compiling programs, that depend on the first (old) prototype.

With CONST one can code procedure(variable:...) or procedure('HELLO':...) - without CONST you can't supply the parameter as a literal. 

So - what is the intention of having two procedures where one parameter is VARCHAR(20) or VARCHAR(10)? As you had CONST, it wasn't a "return-parameter".
