Compile/Check script allowing errors

Post by **fubarinsfo** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 9:08 am

Hi:

I'm a bit unclear on why PS is passing scripts through Compile/Check script only to have them fail on execution.

For instance, I can specify Option Explicit, then use an undimensioned variable in an expression as here:

x = "hello"

and PS will pass it without error. On execution, Windows Script Host Version 5.6 will kick it out with the error "Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Variable is undefined: 'x'"

Is this considered normal?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Using PrimalScript v4.0.481, Windows XP SP2.

?? Why would I do that? I want Option Explicit.

Then you must explicitly define all variables before using them.

iF ps is not working you should post in teh PS support forum. My copy of PS doesn't seem to work that way (4.1).

The option for Ctrl+F7 can be set for any language under Tools - Options - Languages and by setting a command line tool for the appropriate language.
Some languages have compilers, others have syntax checkers.
If this option is enabled for you and VBScript, something is configured at this location.

If you post over in the PrimalScript support forum I am sure we can figure out what happened.
