RE: help with compiler directives.

["Smith, Mike" <Mike_Smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Simon,

First,   QAHSTDS is defined in my GEMAIL procedure.  I do realize that's
what the compiler is fussing about, but I don't want it to.  I'm just trying
to compile GIFPRINT.

The GEMAIL procedure is the last one that I added.  I then added GTXTMSG and
got the same error I get on GIFPRINT, so I was just backing up, trying to
get GIFPRINT to compile again.
So, I guess that's why I'm trying to use the /define stuff.

Second.  Your correct on this.  I just copied this from an example I
found(not that I really understood it) so this was just a typo.

Third.  I don't know why all this crap.  Again.  Just copied from an example
I found somewhere.

Basically I had this all working until I added Gtxtmsg.  Now it doesn't like
QAHSTDS.  So I want to prevent bringing in the prototype for GEMAIL when I
don't need to.

Can you explain this to a simple minded dolt like me.

Thanks

Mike

Hello Mike:

Firstly, where is LIKE(QAHSTDS) defined?  That's what the compiler is
really complaining about.  It can't define QAHSTDSP if the field it is
supposed to be like cannot be found.

Secondly,   /If Defined( CopyPValidCat )
should probably be
          /If Defined( PValidCat )

Thirdly, why all this crap?

 /Define PValidCat
 /Define PUsrSec
 /Define GIfPrint
 /Define GEmail
 /Define GTxtMsg

These are conditioning prototypes only. They don't occupy program space.
Forget conditional directives around these prototypes and just bring them
in anyway.  You are increasing the complexity with no gain.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
