broke subroutine - roadrunner - 07-23-2021 12:41 PM
This program:
PHP Code:
EXPORT test()
BEGIN
LOCAL a, b, datalist;
datalist := {
{'a', [0], {65, 30, 0}},
{'b', [0], {65, 30, 1}}};
INPUT(
EVAL(datalist),
"title");
RETURN {a, b};
END;
works on version 2.1.14433 but doesn't work on version 2.1.14592
Did something change with either INPUT or EVAL to cause this? This is a simplified version of a larger subroutine to demonstrate the issue. I use the larger subroutine a lot.

ps, it dies on the input statement with the message "test Error: Invalid Input"

Hello,
Sorry, in french , but my english is bad.
Il manque une accolade ouvrante après datalist:=

albud44,
Thanks for your reply.
I don't think that's the problem. If the braces didn't match it would not compile. Also, the exact same program works with one version and not the other.
Merci pour votre réponse. Je ne pense pas que ce soit le problème. Si les accolades ne correspondaient pas, il ne serait pas compilé. En outre, le même programme fonctionne exactement avec une version et pas l'autre.

It works fine on my iPad version 2.1.14584

Hmmm,
Something must have changed between 2.1.14584 and 2.1.14592. Thanks for the info.

Well, it works also on the Android app version 2.1.14591 (2021 05 14). But the IOS and Android apps don't implement the latest software changes, they have just been updated for the latest stores/tools requirements.
I don't know why it was working initially because when you do
datalist := {
{'a', [0], {65, 30, 0}},
{'b', [0], {65, 30, 1}}};
you get {a, [0], {65, 30, 0}}, {b, [0], {65, 30, 1}}} in datalist, without the quotes around a and b.
And when you do EVAL(datalist) then a and b are evaluted to their value which is 0, so you get {0, [0], {65, 30, 0}}, {0, [0], {65, 30, 1}}} which is not a valid parameter for INPUT.

I'm thinking there was a bug that allowed me to do that, and the latest update fixed the bug
but broke my subroutine 
Anyway, have a workaround but it involves a lot of cutting and pasting.
Thanks everyone for your input.
