Loading Program with multiple interdependent Sub Routines - bobkrohn - 05-09-2022 06:57 PM
I developed a rather large program. It has about 100 Sub Routines. Many are interdependent. One Sub Calls another that Calls another. No problems as I developed the main Program. However, after doing a Reset I tried loading all the Subs and that’s when I made the horrible discovery that when you load a Sub it checks for all the Calls and if those Calls refer to other Subs that have not been loaded yet, then the Sub won’t Load! It’s a “Catch-22”.
Why won’t it allow you to Load everything THEN check the Calls?
I don’t really want to combine ALL the Subs into one big file because…
1) Makes debugging and editing a slow nightmare
2) Want Subs to be available to other Programs.
Ideas??

This was exactly why the update to programs that turned on python now allow multiple source files of different types. A program is actually now more of a "project" that will correctly scan all the sources and eliminates this type of situation.
have you put your sources into one program group?

I have not done any programming for quite a while after that disaster.
I’ll try to reengage using your suggestions.
Thanks for your help.
