It seems to me this is a bug that should have been caught during the script compilation phase, instead of during execution. somehow indicating a runtime error on the prior statement. It cost me several hours and some lost data to figure it out, primarily because of the rare circumstances that ca

Re: Repeat ... kind'a

As an alternative, you might consider using the more ubiquitous /* ... */ form to comment out large blocks of code. The biggest benefit is no extra characters in front of each line, but you do need to add the (4) characters manually. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media UX/UI

I ran into a similar situation once with a leftover "break" command when converting a switch statement to a series of if statements. Might be worth including that in the QCC report Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser and SQL

Re: Repeat ... kind'a

since exit repeat can technically be a "stand alone" type of statement, it indeed might only be caught on execution. I'm with you though, it would be better if the engine looked to make sure it was actually inside a repeat loop. Having said that, if you do a function call that checks things, I th

Repeat ... kind'a

I copied a section of script from within a complex “repeat” loop within a complex function into another, smaller and less complex inline function. So far, so good. Then, I ran into a condition in the new function that happens about once every 500 records, and only under a rare set of circumsta
