One of our engineers just reported problems migrating several routines from OI 9 because POPUP_EQUATES in OI 10 now includes the LOGICAL insert. Why was this added?

Yes, I came across this too.   I had to refactor my OI9 code accordingly for cross-portability with OI10.  OI9 doesn't have the


<code>
#IFNDEF _LOGICAL_

#DEFINE _LOGICAL_


</code>
protection in the equates that OI10 has for including inserts multiple times or within other inserts.



Cheers, M@

M@ - Yep, we ended up doing that as well. Just surprised to come across this without explanation.

<QUOTE>Hey M@,



Where do you add this and/or what does it actually do?

I can take a guess but I'd rather understand than blindly follow.



I don't see those expressions in the help anywhere.

<QUOTE>Thanks Don.



A good article with an example of these commands but without the bit I personally was missing.



Not to worry, [url=https://www.revelation.com/revweb/oecgi4p.php/O4W_RUN_FORM?INQID=WORKS_READ&SUMMARY=1&KEY=12855.50366%2A7C4AA161C493AF6485256CE70062D352#/section/breadcrumb/UPDATETABLE/Display]this thread[/url] provided the info that cleared my head.



The "_LOGICAL_" being just a label that could be referenced elsewhere.

I have other alternative inserts that also define some of the equates found in Logical. 



Now I understand how to prevent them from falling foul of OI10 popup_equates.
