Re: MS SQL

Re: Wait command

Debug stepping through code will not show you the effects of wait 0 seconds because the step debugger itself (if I am not mistaken) is idling in between each command executed. Wait is implied here. The engine is already “waiting” in between every command executed. This BTW is one of the reasons

Re: Wait command

Only reason I can think to put a wait command in a running script is to give a change for an on idle handler to be triggered. If you DO have an idle handler running somewhere and IT has a problem that causes the engine to exit to top, that might be your bugaboo. Bob On Mar 2, 2014, at 5:47 PM

Re: What if....

I believe if you change that to or, you will throw an error. Or at least you should! Thinking about this, it may be simpler to think of AND comparisons a single expressions and OR comparisons as delimiting multiple expressions. In a SINGLE LOGICAL EXPRESSION evaluation will terminate when a fals

Re: What if....

if false and false or true then becomes: if (false and false) or true then becomes: if false or true then becomes: if true then answer "Got it 4!" You are thinking of false and true as individual statements and they are not. The whole condition is one statement. Or if you like, the ands are

It's order of precedence. AND before OR. Bob On Jan 28, 2013, at 9:33 PM, Thierry Douez wrote: > Hi Jacques, > > Thanks for testing. > > Umm, I don't have the correct answers. > > The first test gives me False, which should be the same > as the fourth case which gives True! > > Or, did I m

False 1! False 2! Got it 3! Got it 4! Off the top of my head. Bob On Jan 28, 2013, at 4:36 AM, Thierry Douez wrote: > Hi Peter, > > 2013/1/27 Peter Haworth > >> Musings about complex if statements on this Sunday morning... >> >> if cond1 and cond2 and cond3 and cond4 then. >> >> if c

Re: What if....

I should rephrase that. If condition 1 and/or 2 involve long time consuming evaluations, there would be an advantage the putting conditions 3 and 4 in parens, since they would be evaluated first, saving time in some instances. But the way to do that is put your time consuming evaluations last wh

Re: What if....

Doesn't matter. It's like saying 1 + 2 + (3 + 4). That is why they use + as the AND operator in boolean logic. Bob On Jan 27, 2013, at 10:39 AM, Peter Haworth wrote: > The manual says the grouping operator (parens) has the highest precedence > so does this mean (cond3 and cond4) will be evalu

Re: What if....

Yes. You can do stuff in between the conditionals in example 2 whereas you cannot in example one. Bob On Jan 27, 2013, at 10:39 AM, Peter Haworth wrote: > Musings about complex if statements on this Sunday morning > > Lets say you have a complex if statement with 4 conditions that must a

There's a perpetual license?? How do I get one of those?? Bob On Jan 29, 2013, at 6:52 AM, Kevin Miller wrote: > Yes existing licenses remain the same until the end of their term. > Existing perpetual licenses are just that - perpetual. You can see more > details in the FAQ http://runrev.com/ho

I think honest mistakes are recognized as such, but I mainly wanted to prevent even more unwitting emails that may have divulged more than this one did. Bob On Jan 27, 2013, at 1:40 PM, Sumner, Walt wrote: > Hi, folks, I clearly posted a message to the wrong list last week, starting a > bit
