Re: Small and strange problem
Hi Paul Sorry for the delay in replying but my house has just been inundated (it happened on Monday and we are still clearing up! Worst flood in more than 40 years in my French village). Anyway, the bug is registered as 22730. The problem is acknowledged - as I said in my submission, I’m not claiming my coding is correct, I’m just trying to show that the IDE doesn’t behave consistently in this instance.

Re: Small and strange problem
Good point Ben, looks like that was my mistake. I don’t remember where I learned to use "if tError then”, but what I forgot was that it should have been testing for a false condition, so “if not tError then” does show the error when one occurs and skips when no error occurs. Fixing this returns the following error when tMins contains a non numeric character; An Error Occurred; 375,5,1 239,5,1 465,5,1 tMins = 31′ These are the corresponding LC Error Codes; 375 Operators /: error in left operand 239 Operators (): error in right operand 465 put: error in expression So it seems the value passed to tMins may contain invalid character(s) as Graham suspects. However, this doesn’t explain why the original script should behave differently using the debugger and not. @Graham, can you post the Bug Report Number please?

The tMins var is presumably local, and so must be being initialized with a value somewhere when running in the debugger; outside of the debugger the error you are getting is because tMins has value "tMins" which is not a number until it is initialized (as its an unquoted literal at that point - as I'm guessing you have explicitVariables/VariableChecking turned off).

Re: Small and strange problem
I set this hare running initially. I really do think there is a bug, because the thing works when stepped through but not if it’s allowed to run without interruption. In the stepped-through activity it’s easy to see that tMins does have a value. In my example it’s 31, or maybe it’s a string of which the visible part is “31”. But the fact remains the script behaves in two different ways, at least on my computer. As I tiny bit of background, the script tries to parse a string that represents a longitude, copied from a web site. It certainly has some weird characters in it, but I thought I’d got round then.

Re: Small and strange problem
Do you have an earlier line where you have set tMins? If it has never been set, would you export tMins/60 to work? Aside from that, there was a change in LiveCode 7 or 8, where you could no longer create a variable on the first line that it is used. You need to have declared it earlier on. > On May 11, 2020, at 2:24 AM, AndyP via use-livecode > wrote: > > I seem to have my posts dropped at the moment hence this, > > I'm seeing the same error > > with > > on mouseUp pMouseButton > put (tMins/60) into tMins > answer tMins > end mouseUp > > button "Button": execution error at line 2 (Operators /: error in left > operand), char 1 > > Interestingly this > > on mouseUp pMouseButton > try >put (tMins/60) into tMins > catch tError >if tError then answer "An Error Occurred;" && tError & return & "tMins =" > && tMins > end try > end mouseUp > > does NOT through an error or a catch error message > > > If however tMins is initialized then all works as expected > > on mouseUp pMouseButton > put 20 into tMins > put (tMins/60) into tMins > answer tMins > end mouseUp > > ??? > > > _ > Sent from http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com > > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Small and strange problem
How does tMins acquire the data? Are you certain it contains what you expect when you aren’t stepping through the code (and slowing things down)? perhaps a “put tMins" or “answer tMins” would expose something.

Re: Small and strange problem
No replies so far, so I had a few minutes spare and tried to recreate this problem, but couldn’t. No matter what I put into tMins first, even an empty variable still returned 0, so my suggestion would be to wrap the script in a try - catch to see what’s going on with the left operand (tMins) during the equation, something like: try put (tMins/60) into tMins catch tError if tError then answer "An Error Occurred;" && tError & return & "tMins =" && tMins end try I tried in both versions of LC that you mentioned and saw no problem.

Small and strange problem
I’m using LC 9.6.0 dp4 and 9.5.1 - this issue is seen in both versions. I have a script with a very simple statement: put (tMins/60) into tMins tMins contains a number, and as expected I get a numeric result, for example if tMins is 31, I get 0.516667 but ONLY when I step through the script in the IDE. If I let the script run, the IDE reports an error: > Execution error (operators /: error in left operand, char 1 Either there’s an error or there isn’t. What can be wrong?
