RE: Issue with embedded lists in a command

You're probably right. I'm working from memory on this and it has been a long time. I looked at some of my commands and I've always put all the parms at the top above all the labelled groups. I learned this a long, long time ago; parser rules change over time.

Hi Dan

IIRC, you CAN put ELEM groups and QUAL groups anywhere - they are labeled, so it doesn't matter - seems I did that for some commands at RJS, as a kind of self-documentation.

Of course, I have been wrong a couple times this year, and it's only the 2nd week!

Rick,

Your code is arranged incorrectly. First the CMD keyword statement, then all the PARM keyword statements, then the tagged groups of ELEM or QUAL or whatever referenced in your TYPE's.

Subject: Issue with embedded lists in a command

I am working on a command that I want to have a list as one of the parameters but I also want the parameter to contain a list as one of the elements.

I have a code value as the first parameter. For that code value there are four pieces of information; the code itself, a start date, an end date, and message information. The message information is itself a list made up of the message text, configuration text, and size text. So far so good.

Where the issue comes in is when I define the code and message as lists. There can be up to two codes and there could be up to three message lines for each code. When I specify the code with a max value of two (MAX(2)) and the message with a max value of three (MAX(3)) the command will not compile and I get the error shown here. Displaying second level text didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.

CPD0258 30 More than three levels of nesting specified for keyword ENRCODE.

I have posted the code here http://code.midrange.com/bf8f32f019.html.

I am not seeing where the three levels are. It looks to me like just two; the ENRCODE PARM line, and the ELEM line with ENRMSG. Can someone help me out with what I'm missing?
