Compiled script - can someone help

[LondonNDIB 0]

What am I doing wrong. Its been a long time since i've compiled a script, but I'm certain my compiled scripts behaved like my non-compiled ones in the past. What am I doing wrong? Things like @scriptlinenumber report -1 instead of correct value. And all my Run() calls don't work. I'm sure its a simple setting I'm forgetting.

What version are you using?

From helpfile:

@ScriptLineNumber: Line number currently being executed. Useful for debug statements specially when a function is call you can pass the caller line number. (Not significant in compiled script)

Yesh, I just saw that.

It really should be useful for compiled scripts though. I've seen someones (lame) answer on here saying scripts should be thoroughly tested before compiling, blah blah... but I did thoroughly test and it worked fine as a script. Compiled and it didn't work at all. In my script I meticulously setup error handling exactly for this reason so I could pinpoint where the problem was.

Anyway, I figured it out. It just kinda sucked that I put in all that effort to include debugging and when the bug involved the compiled script, it was entirely useless.

Well I've never heard of it giving -1 as a scriptline number, a compiled script gives me the scriptline number.

1 a post suggesting scripts should be tested is not a lame one

2 Maybe you should have read the helpfile before you implimented your "meticulously setup error handling"

Its a no-brainer really.

Obviously your 2nd point flies in the face of your your first statement. Nice superiority complex, btw.

Yes. yes it does, I was thinking of the errors and there line numbers.

Both points still stand though, and there is no complex, you're projecting.
