Old programs do not run

[BuSchu]

After a long time, I wanted to start my few programs again. But none of them can still run. When I look at the program text and select "check", I only get the error message "Error: Syntaxerror". And that with every program. Then when I press ESC twice, I always get the message that there is a syntax error on line 6.
Here is my simplest test program:

EXPORT Testinput()
BEGIN
LOCAL name;

INPUT ({{name, [-1]}}, "Name", "Please type in a name");
PRINT("Hello " + name);
END;

Why am I getting a syntax error with this tiny program now?

Thank you for your help!

Hello,
I opened a new program on my emulator, emptied it and copied your text in. Check: No errors,
program runs as expected. Software is: 2.1.14730

On both Primes the same, both with actual firmware: The program does not run.

on my G2 with the latest firmware
I copied and pasted the program and it seems to works ok no error

As I wrote: actual firmware. And actual means latest, of course. All my old programs report a syntax error in line 6. Could it be a configuration problem?

Now I saw: The following short program shows a syntax error in line 1:

EXPORT Mopmt (L, R, M)
BEGIN
LOCAL K := R / 1200;

K := L * K / (1 - (1 + K)^ -M);
RETURN "Payment = " + K;
END;

Now I cleared memory and keyed in the program mompt and it works.

After restoring the backup before the memory reset the error is there again.

Did you consider inserting something like this:

Code:

#pragma mode( separator(.,;) integer(h32) )

as your first source text line?
The #pragma line ensures that your preferred settings are used when compiling the text into a program.
More about the #pragma directive can be found here in the hpmuseum forum.

I think, that's it. I configured , as the separator as common in Germany. Thanks!

To remove some confusion here, I think BuSchu means "up-to-date" firmware, which is "actuel" in French. One of the many false friends between the two languages.

Thanks. I didn't know that until now!
