Problem with constant strings in gpc 1.2(2.7.2)#7 ???

[Harry Reed]

Hi,
    In the users' manual chapter "About Pascal and Extended Pascal
languages" 
there is a small example on how to initialize constant strings. When I
try
compiling the fragment with gpc 1.2(2.7.2)#7 I get the error messages
as showm below. Is this a valid bug or am I just doing something wrong?

Cheers,
