Hello,

I'm trying to execute a script from a programming tab of a TextButton-type UIM object. The script is the following:
[code]...
loop(...) {
  ...
  switch(...) {
    case 1:
      ...
      break;
    case2:
      ...
      break;
    ...
    case n:
      ...
      FaultyCommand;
      ...
      break;
    case n+1:
      ...
      break;
  } //end of switch
  ...
} //end of loop[/code]
Each time I'm trying to run the script, Origin crashes completely - without any error message! But if the "FaultyCommand" is commented out, everything works fine. The particular faulty command can be different - usually any loose dataset operation (resizing, reversing, etc.) using standard methods for dataset-type objects. But the most intriguing (or better to say, annoying) thing is, that this command should not be executed at all during this particular script run!!! The switch value in the loop when the program crashes is not equal to n and cannot take this value during the whole script execution!!! What is the reason for such script behavior? Is it possible to avoid the influence of a non-executing code on the execution?

I would appreciate some help to overcome this obstacle.

Regards,
Alexei

The problem has been solved: the amount of code was too large and possibly caused an overflow. After a thorough revision I reduced the script implementing code fragments as corresponding functions in "ProjectEvents". Now everything works fine. Seems, Origin has certain undocumented limitations on scripts in programming tabs... Regards, Alexei
