Re: SQL Scripts iNav DANGER DANGER

It's even a little trickier than that:

If your cursor is on the last line of your SQL, and is postioned AFTER the closing semicolon, it will execute the NEXT statement, not the one on the line where the cursor is. So basically iNav considers a statement to be everything between two semicolons, including any white space. I've been caught by this a number of times.

David,

Please be aware that there are several options when you execute a script. As
per V5R4:

CTRL+Y - Only selected (current) statement.
CTRL+T - From selected (current) statement and then, subsequent staments.
CTRL+R - All statements.

So, even if you have several statements in your script, CTRL+Y would execute
only the current one (where the cursor is).

A warning to all who have not yet had this :

Place your cursor in the sql script you want to execute.
Select execute the selection. After execution, if there is another script,
it is automatically selected, so you have to be careful. Is there a way of
illiminating this behaviour?

But worse, ctrl z undoes the last change in the script as you would
expect... ctrl y does not redo as you might expect.. It executes the
selection!!!!!
