Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?
Another bug-or-oddity in the BDT Editor. Some wily programmer before me, decided it was jim dandy to use certain reserved words as variables. The compiled has no problem with it, but the BDT Editor is barfing when it sees something like FOR LOOP = 1 TO 10 and also when it sees GOTO NEXT NEXT: do something here It thinks I suppose that LOOP and NEXT shouldn't be used in these ways, and probably they shouldn't. But they can. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?
It doesn't like this syntax EXECUTE CMD, SELECT. L.UM DONE = FALSE ; CNT = 0 ; THE.FILE = '' EXECUTE CMD, SELECT. L.UM DONE = FALSE ; CNT = 0 ; THE.FILE = '' '' CRT SPACE(7):RECORDS PROCESSED: LOOP CRT SPACE(7):RECORDS PROCESSED: LOOP LOOP READNEXT K.UM FROM L.UM ELSE DONE = TRUE READNEXT K.UM FROM L.UM ELSE DONE = TRUE It claims that I don't need the comma after CMD But if I remove it, it then complains that CMD is an unexpected token It also complains that I never set the value of L.UM (on the readnext line) which of course I did It seems like it doesn't understand this perfectly good syntax which the compiler happily makes work as I intended. By the way, the point of selecting out to a list and then readnexting from that list, for those who are virgins, is that two selects in one program, are almost always prevented from stepping on each other's toes. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?
The reason for both of those errors is BDT is not using the real compiler for error checking. Those Rocket software engineers used ANTLR parse generator to go through the UniBasic code. In my opinion a fatal flaw.

Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?
I think there are a few bugs - in that particular case I don't think it likes labels with dots in them, prob because it was written by an oop person rather than a unibasic one. However it is worth sticking with , after a few weeks, maybe a month you will never go back.

Well since the undefined label bug causes the editor to barf and not let me roll-up code at all, that's important to me. I can't use other features of BDT because of this.

[U2] BDT what's the big deal?
Could someone give me a list of their three or five things in BDT, coming from the line editor environment, that they've found the most useful about it? That is, as a salesperson, to old school Universe coders, what are the key selling points? ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?
Will: I've done this many times on this list before. But just so we don't start another flame war, I have listed a few of the features of BDT and its competitor XLr8Editor from U2logic in no order of importance. 1) Shows compiler errors while you type 2) Outline of variables used and internal subroutines in a clickable pane. 3) Double click on any variable to see all occurrences in the program 4) Maintains local history of all changes 5) Bookmark support 6) Open subroutines or includes with a single keys stroke 7) Version control is available from CVS, Subversion, GIT, Perforce, or Team Foundation 8) Code assist or completion depending on your view 9) Template support included 10) Dictionary editor is included Regards, Doug www.u2logic.com/tools.html ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

So the first thing I try to do that the slightest bit interesting and get 'Unhandled event loop exception' That's me.

Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?
So evidently it turns out that Code Assist for GOSUB has a bug in it. In the following the upper case are characters typed, while the lower case are command keys The documentation to my mind isn't very clear but So type GOSUB space ctrl+space In a program which HAS no labels at all and you get a run-time error Evidently it was never coded to handle people asking for an empty window or a null or whatever. -Original Message- From: Wjhonson wjhon...@aol.com To: u2-users u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Mon, Apr 23, 2012 2:59 pm Subject: Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?

Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?
Another odd bug, evidently in the code that determines if you are trying to GOSUB a label that doesn't exist. In this case however, the label exists, but it's also like 1600 lines past the GOSUB. I wonder if BDT is barfing because of that distance? It says Label END.OF.JOB not defined but it is. If I just move the subroutine further up in the code, it's fine. So it's either the distance, or it thinks the code is ending before it gets to this label. Code compiles fine, it's an old program that's been running for several years. -Original Message- From: Wjhonson wjhon...@aol.com To: wjhonson wjhon...@aol.com; u2-users u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Mon, Apr 23, 2012 3:06 pm Subject: Re: [U2] BDT what's the big deal?
