There's an error in the generated Java for the following code:

program mismatch type BasicProgram {}
	myDec decimal(2);
	myString string;
	function main()
		myDec = 9;
		myString = myDec;
		SysLib.writeStdout(myDec);	
	end
end

Type mismatch: cannot convert from BigDecimal to String	

This should work.  I can assign decimal to string.

writeStdout(text)
text -> Input can be any variable or expression that is assignment compatible with the STRING type.

I just tried it using the latest code from CVS, and the problem is gone.  Should be OK in the next build too.

Forgot to resolve this when I added the previous comment.
