I am always getting the string not found message. The return code is a 4.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi Steve,
Others have mentioned the use of ampersands versus leaving variables outside
the quotes, so I'll try a different suggestion. The odds of the following
resolving your problem are low, but even so I believe it is generally good
practise to include the following at the top of every edit macro:
"(LBND,RBND) = BOUNDS"
"BOUNDS"
What the above does is save the current boundary settings (i.e. left and
right) and then set the boundaries to their defaults (e.g. columns 1 and
80). Then, after all processing in the body of the macro is complete, the
boundaries should be returned to their original settings by doing the
following:
"BOUNDS = "lbnd rbnd
Many commands (e.g. FIND, CHANGE, SORT, etc) are affected by boundary
settings. By employing the above, you will ensure that your macro will work
in every situation (where the string to change exists), even if the
boundaries are not in their expected locations when the macro starts.
HTH,
Dave Salt
