Hi, I must admit that I did not realize that this is an example from the documentation. This is either a good sign that there are many examples or a bad one that I do not even know what is documented... I am afraid that this is not the last error in the documentation, but we work on improving it steadily.
Thanks for poiting it out! I fixed it :-) Best, Peter Am 18.11.2015 um 08:51 schrieb Wolf-Dietrich Materna: > Hi Peter, > thank you very much for your quick reply.
