Hi,

Exist(macroname) returns 8 if the macro exists (loaded) rather than the 6 stated in the documentation. Is this a bug or is the documentation for version 6 and 6.1 wrong? What should all the other values be?

This is very useful as we have a large customised application and with this feature I can enable project specific code to be inserted to the core application routinely.

Cheers,

Pete

Your right... I hadn't noticed that before. I'm also not sure whether it's a bug or documentation error. In either case it would probably be easier just to change the documentation.

I verified that it is just the documentation that is wrong. It used to return 6, but we changed this to 8 in 1995. The return value of 6 is now only used internally. All other return values should be correct as documented.

We'll update our documentation...looks like this one has slipped through for some time.

Hi,

Documentation (7.5 SR4) still incorrect.

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Pete,

I assure that this erratum will be fixed in the next publication of the LabTalk documentation.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
