begin
  vals = 0;
  iresult = ibec_SetLength(vals, 10);
  suspend; /* iresult = 10 */

  iresult = ibec_SetLength(vals, -1);
  suspend; /* illegal NewLength, iresult = 10 */

  iresult = ibec_SetLength(vals, '25');
  suspend; /* iresult = 25 */

  iresult = ibec_SetLength(vals, NULL);
  suspend; /* illegal NewLength, iresult = 25 */
end
