Hello,

How do you write the command stop if in debug with literals:

For example stop if a.sitm="10360878"

I get always error of syntax.

Thank you

Hello,

help or ? will show the debugger commands.

Workaround:

t a.sitm (Trace the variable)

Hello,
I know about the help in debug.
My stop if works when I test a numeric, but I don't find the syntax for literals.

Can you make a screenshot of the exact error message in the debugger?

Hello,
reason maybe trailing spaces !

TRY:

stop if a.sitm(1;8) = "10360878"

Regards

Trailing spaces can be present, indeed. But then the debugger will only not stop, because the condition is not met. If will not raise a syntax error because of that.

Hello JaapJD,

you're right about the "syntax error", i think Richard has to give more details about his problem.
That means, if a Syntax error is shown in debugger, he should post 'em.

If only debugger doesn't hit the condition, the trailing (leading) spaces should be considered.

Hope, Richard will give us a hint.

I dont recollect with any problem with string literals in debug . Probably the symbol/variable is not extern declared .

But u can always workaround using IN operator also .

stop if a.item IN "123456789.*" .

Note- all expressions and functions used in expr.complie help can be used in compiler as debugger uses expr.compile functions only to evaluate these conditions.

Unknown symbol 'a.sitm' in expression: value 0 assumes
Incompatible types in expression with operator '=='

With stop if on a field of type long, I don't have any problem.

Thanks

Probably a.sitm is a local variable in a function. The debugger cannot evaluate the stop in expression outside that function, because the variable is not known there.

Sounds more like an alias in the query. Post a copy of the code and the error message. I do not believe you can trace an alias. I think if you did something like a.sitm:sitm.trace, declare sitm.trace and then you could track it.

Is variable a.sitm declared like following

extern domain tcitem a.sitm

Extern declaration should resolve the error.

just an quick and dirty option ...

you could put an if statement in the script with a counter update and trace the counter....

something like:
if a.sitm >= "123456" then
counter = counter + 1
endif

reagrds ...

Hello,

I put my string in a numeric, the if sentence with a numeric is working.
My request was just to know how we should write the stop if sentence in case of a string variable.
