FW10077: AFilesB() not working on Prime Rev. A

[mfleming]

Hi all,

I've updated my HP Prime calculator today to the latest release and find that the AFilesB function fails to create application files. The function works fine however on the Prime emulator for both Windows 7 and Windows 10.

I'm doing a simple test as follows from the Home view

Code:


L1 := {65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70}
AFilesB("A", 0) := L1
AFiles()
AFiles("A")
AFilesB("A")

The AFiles function returns an empty list, and trying to retrieve the content with AFiles or the file length with AFilesB fails with an error message. Using a regular object assignment to AFiles does succeed.

The odd thing of course is that this works on the emulator but not the hardware Prime. I've tried reformatting C: and I still see the problem. And naturally since it's against Murphy's Law to have only one problem at a time, I find the Prime rebooting while in a Spreadsheet custom app. A reboot happens every time when using an input form associated with the Symb key in my custom app. I suspect that's due to invoking Symb in the START() view, since commenting out the call eliminated the reboot.

Is there anything else I might do to recover functionality besides reformatting C:?
