Re: OVRMSGF and QCMDEXC procedure






You're way ahead of me then (as usual :-) ). For most things the
QCMDEXC procedure works just fine and it seemed cleaner to let the
procedure calculate the command length, but you're right -- it's not
much and it avoids the occasional scoping problems.

subprocedure. Granted, it adds one more line of code to my program, but

one line won't kill me.

In this situation, the override is only in effect while control is in
the QCMDEXC procedure. When control returned to the TESTADDR
procedure,
the override was gone. I guess I should of realized this since a
procedure is another entry on the call stack.
