/DATE_TYPE=EMPTY_RECORDS specified; use /DATE_TYPE=NOEMPTY_RECORDS Explanation: You explicitly specified the obsolete value EMPTY_RECORDS using the /DATE_TYPE qualifier. This causes RDML to generate a date type for Pascal using an empty record. The Pascal compiler may not handle assignments for dates appropriately in this case. User Action: Either specify /DATE_TYPE=NOEMPTY_RECORDS or omit the /DATE_TYPE qualifier from the RDML command line.
