PLEditor problem

Postby 2haerim » 26 Aug 2008

On some PCs, PLEditor has problems compiling very basic scripts. For example, a simple function like below results in errors:

_f = 3;


Just one line function!


Next, tO make sure, I just copied the script from a builtin function ADX and just changed the function name as _f to compile. It also failed even though ADX is perfectly ok.
inputs:
Len( numericsimple ) ;

variables:
var0( 0 ),
var1( 0 ),
var2( 0 ),
var3( 0 ),
var4( 0 ),
var5( 0 ) ;

Value1 = DirMovement( H, L, C, Len, var0, var1, var2, var3, var4,
var5 ) ;

_f = var3 ;

This happens on a certain PC and I don't know why.

It seems that all user studies fail to compile in this case.


Please check.

which version of PE you are using? (Under the Help section)
what is your OS?
What is the error message?

You don't have to copy them down, just press "Control-Alt-Print Screen" to make a screen capture. Then paste it in your Paint program... where you can add notes to the screen shot.

These are the basic information you must provide before someone can take you seriously.

HaeRim,

In the described case, you can't compile ALL studies or only ALL USER studies?

Thank you.

Hi WarEagle,

Could you please send us the following file:

your drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts\StudyServer\Studies\compiler_error.log

The error in that log will help us identify which one of the two potential problems is to blame and we'll let you know what to do to fix it.

Thank you.

Thanks Marina. I will give it a try this evening. I am away from my machine in the daytime, so I am unable to have anyone from support to connect. Thanks again.
