7.2 rbasic+ compile error

Since upgrading from 7.1.0 to 7.2.0 I cannot compile any Rbasic+ code.

Any compile in the system editor results in

	 SYS1244:  The script contains an invalid character.  

I've tried this on our developement version of OI and on a virgin copy of

OI pulled right off the last WORKS cd.

Has anyone else seen this error too?

Can anyone verify that they CAN compile Rbasic+ code?

also, it seems that you cannot upgrade directly from 7.1.0 to 7.2.0, but must

first upgrade to 7.1.1

Jeff,

I actually saw this… I created a test program to find out about on of the new features in OIPI "LoadDoc". I could not compile the code. Turns out I created a "New Record" instead of "New Stored Procedure". After choosing the former the code compiled.

Not sure if this is a "bug" or by design as all of my code is done as a Stored Procedure and not saved in another table?

John

Thanks -

It looks like you can no longer open any code from SYSPROCS and then compile it from there. It does work if I open the routine as a stored procedure. (try TEST_DEBUGGER in OI 7.2)

This seems to be a new feature of the system editor ????

Was this intentional or a bug??

Jeff

Intentional- it depends on how the record is opened - either doing a read or a repository operation.

This is a big change (for us anyone) from 7.1

We would often compile source code from other source files

(SYSPROCS was just an example)

are you saying the only way to compile rbasic now is :

it must be a STORED PROCEDURE first ?
