The documentation will be corrected. Thank you, James, for bringing this to our attention.

Wish List / Documentation Update for READ ...
Last post by James Zukowski - December 04, 2024, 11:07:59 AM
I had a small problem loading data out of a variable into discrete variables with READ DATA. Based on the current documentation, I should be able to:

READ DATA FROM var$,sep=Sep$,err=Bad_Data to iol=My_IOL$

Whenever I type that in, though, I get a syntax error. I was finally able to get it to enter and run properly with:

READ DATA FROM var$,sep=Sep$ to iol=My_IOL$,err=Bad_Data

Could someone update the documentation to present this properly, please?

Thank you!!

Hello. This is a follow-up to an earlier ticket posted by someone about the same issue, but I didn't see a resolution there. Here's the link: https://forum1.pvxplus.com/index.php?topic=1001.msg3412#msg3412

I'm experiencing basically the same issue. When I hop from my IT editor to another window and then return, the loaded code is listed starting above the top boundary of the defined code area. Note: not every time, only some of the time. See attached screenshot.

Like the other user, this started after an upgrade. (In our case, we leapfrogged from 17 to 19.) We also have BX emulation on.
But unlike the other user, who used dark display, I use light.
We run PxP on a direct RDP session to our Win 2022 development server.
I want to reiterate: this is new behavior, in effect as of the new PxP version.

TIA.

Thank you.  I didn't remember that the devices had drivers in dev.  Thought they were in a file like the keyboard config.

Parameter 'SO' is off for both installs. We tried up to V17.10 with same results.
We will try V19 when we get new keys and I will let you know.

If I'm not mistaken, the program is looking for providex.ddf and providex.dde.  Just run the data dictionary utility in order to create these files (enter dd in console mode or run "*nomads" and select Dictionary/Maintenance from the menu).

'RB' should be defined in your terminal driver program - for example in *dev/vt100:

->*['rb]
1110 MNEMONIC (LFO)'RB'=$07$

Certain emulators also have a 'dump data to screen' mode that will display whatever they are receiving.

Ok.  Historically 0x07 is the bell character.  How can I determine what PVX is sending when I print 'rb' at a command prompt?  I'm having trouble with a terminal emulator not ringing and need to know this value to help with the config of that emulator.

Run "*PLUS/UTIL/DICTDEF" should work.
