All and Ton, Martin, et al:
Well, I'm moving along with my programming thanks to Ton, Martin and all
other contributors, but I've reached an impasse trying to get to one of my
more difficult calculations. I am debugging each one of my calculations and
plotting its individual result in MS and comparing it to a debugging program
I've written in Clipper. I feel that if I debug each individual
calculation, when I get to the end, everything should work.
Well, that worked for while, until I reached the following calculation.
Something about the best laid plans of mice and men. :)
COMHACR:= ( FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCRR") +
FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCYY") + FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCY4") +
FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCR4") + FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCR7") +
COMHCY7 ) / 3;
COMHACR;
I have previously debugged COMHCRR, COMHCYY, COMHCY4, COMHCR4, COMHCR7, and
COMHCY7 and they all calculate properly and will plot if I set it up. This
calculation simply adds the six values and divides the total by 3. Nothing
sophisticated at all. I then moved this variable calculation to another
blank indicator to try it. It still didn't work, so I then tried to comment
out everything but one of the components and that didn't work either
(COMHCRR) but when I go back to that variable and set it up to plot, it
works fine. I'm terminally confused here.
The only thing I can think is that I've exceeded MS programming
capabilities, but you would think I would at least get an error message. I
mean we're not talking brain surgery here, so I assume that I'm doing
something stupid. :) For instance, when I reached the point that I had
exceeded the calculations one indicator can support (something about binary
but I didn't write it down) I moved a bunch of the calculations to another
indicator.
Is there a limit on the number of indicators that you can program in MS? I
wouldn't think I'm near any limit, but??? I have a bunch of old
calculations and system testers out there. I hadn't planned on it, but
should I go out and delete them to make room for the newer stuff?
TIA,
Guy
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark,
