I've written a LabTalk program which works perfectly in 6.0 but it gets stuck when I try to run it on 7.0. I think I've found the problem but I don't know what to do about it.
The program starts by calling up a couple graph templates. Then a loop is defined, which includes a "pointproc" macro, and a getyesno to continue the loop or not:
[start]
{
\\\Graphic Templates called\\\;
def GrafikBereich_Loop \\\Loop defined\\\;
{
\\\Worksheet Template called\\\;
getfile*.*; \\\Data file loaded, graphed onto template I have labled %J\\\;
open -w %A;
window -a %J;
layer -i201 %N_B;
layer -a;
%C=%N_B;
\\\!!!Loop stops here second time around!!!\\ dotool 4; \\\Data marked on %J\\ def pointproc
{ P1=mks1; P2=mks2;
win -a %N;
get %N_B -e P3;
mark -d %N_B -b (P2+1) -e P3;
//////CALCULATIONS//////;
//////MASKING OF DATA//////;
dotool 0;
getyesno (Another Dataset?) Antwort2 [Repeat];
if (Antwort2==1)
{
repeat 1 {GrafikBereich_Loop;}
}
else
{
menu -e 57651;
break [Antwort2+1]
};
};
};
GrafikBereich_Loop;
};
In 6.0 the loop can be repeated without any difficulty. In 7.0, the loop runs completely once, repeats after the getyesno promt, loads another data set into the worksheet template, but stops once it reaches "dotool" or "def pointproc". I'm not able to mark the data; there aren't moveable cursors but brackets at both end of the data set, as if the data had already been selected.
Does any one have any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks a million...Martin J. |

Hi Martin,
First glance comment: MenuID's sometimes change from one Origin version to the next. I don't know what menuID 57651 refers to but you might verify that it's what you think it is.
...And I don't understand the purpose of
repeat 1 {GrafikBereich_Loop;}
If you only execute it once why don't you just use
GrafikBereich_Loop;
Perhaps it's a transcription error?

Thanks for the tip Mike.
Actually the problem did have to do with the command
"repeat 1 {GrafikBereich_Loop;}",
but simply calling the loop with "GrafikBereich_Loop;" runs into the same problem (Although a "repeat" command is indeed superfluous).
It was a queueing problem, as I was told by the Origin Support people.
I would need an extra semicolon in calling the loop, as:
";GrafikBereich_Loop;" or "repeat 1 {;GrafikBereich_Loop;}"
It's interesting that the semicolon in front isn't needed in Origin 6.0.
Thanks again.
