I never realized you could embed trace in a command file. I always used it from
the R> prompt.
I had set echo on and output filename.txt with screen, and it really didn't
tell me anything. It just gave me the "No whiles or Ifs" that I mentioned
below.
Now I know how to embed the trace.
Thank you,Patti

{}-->Patti,There is no need to guess where the problem is. We have a wonderful
tool in TRACE that allows you to execute your code one line at the time and you
can find exactly where your problem is.Every code I write I place the following
command at the top:DEBUG SET TRACE ONWhen I need to debug code, at the R>
prompt I enter the command:SET DEBUG ONAnd when I run my code it goes
automatically into the debug mode. When I am done debugging I simply:SET DEBUG
OFFand the code runs normally. It is a great tool to figure out if your code is
running as designed and in the correct sequence, and when you run into an
error/warning, it will display it for you so you can correct it accordingly.
You can also display variable and it will show changes in real time. Javier,

set up ahead of time. I think the "Skip to" commands were causing the problem.
Thank you though.Patti From: Buddy Walker <[email protected]>

Are all variables set before entering form, if so are they being cleared once
form executes

Using the rstyle to see where the error is, should help you figure where you
are breaking the code.
Also changing to the PROPERTY command as Karen suggested is nice.

Hi Jim,
No, there's no Switch or Case. I just used an If statement because I'm testing
for anything below 12 or ge 12.

Is this EEP located in a SWITCH or CASE part of your code?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Embedded eep on a variable edit field
I'm trying the embedded eeps in an object instead of calling an external eep,
for pretty much the first time.
I have a variable edit field. It's the 3rd field on the form, but since the
other two are radio groups, it skips over those and goes right to the variable
edit field. I "get" why it does that.
But I get an error message when I try to leave the variable edit field, and
again eveytime the cursor lands on it. (happens a lot when I'm testing other
things.)
Here's my eep, that is executed upon leaving the field:
if vine01ed < 12 then
property BiiAdd_INE01GED visible 'true'
property BiiAdd_e1a visible 'true'
skip to INE01GED
else
property BiiAdd_INE01GED visible 'false'
property BiiAdd_e1a visible 'false'
skip to vine04ed
endif
return
The error messages I keep getting are:
-ERROR- No WHILE, SWITCH or IF blocks are open on current input source. ( 466)
Switching input back to keyboard
It actually makes the other fields appear or disappear ok. But why the error?
Thanks,
Patti
