You're right, Gene. Nothing can cover all situations. But any logical condition will do. Two generic strategies I've used when I don't necessarily have some well-defined condition are:
ASSERT .F. MESSAGE [Debug now?] And ASSERT NOT FILE([debugnow.txt]) MESSAGE [debug now?] The first is pretty much a sledge hammer so every time I use that one I get prompted about going into debug mode. The latter allows me to control the debug prompt by using the presence or absence of an external file as opposed to some application condition. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gene Wirchenko Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 3:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: A Use for OKL At 04:33 2014-03-24, Richard Kaye <[email protected]> wrote: >You might want to look at using ASSERTS.
