What command do I type to make the problem show up? make sure FILE.DB is located on a drive. AND you have to 1st do a SELE DSK#.FILE and make sure the file is open....under the command window the "FILE" should be listed.

GDMike Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) does it move around with arrow keys - oops....i see the astersik..that means im at a stop.. which I placed on purpose. That's great! .ok. thank you!! I cannot get this far? Im not sure why...its working for you though because of the "*" mark... which my screen locks up and goes funky before getting to display the field name.

GDMike Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 this is the version of Foxit from last weekend..can you run it and move the fields around with MODI SCREEN? I cannot get as far as you did earlier...i upgraded to the most recent CL99...but its the same result... this version of foxit should allow movement of the field with arrow keys....

GDMike Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I can load and run SNP just fine on CL99 and this laptop..it also uses SAMs. And I'm not having any issues. But One thing it doesn't use is F18A mode. So what could be possibly going on with F18A mode on my laptop? Because it's working fine for @BF here..

Tursi Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Extremely unlikely it's related to Windows.

GDMike Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Yes. It's not crashed. The program is still running like normal waiting on a key. But the video is scrambled. @BF can run the program with no scrambled video. I then upgraded classic 99 thinking maybe?? But I've not seen this before, and everything was good when I put the laptop away last weekend and the program ran perfect then. But I left the machine on overnight day before yesterday and some updates went through. I also put chrome on it. So thinking that may have caused issues I removed chrome. But naa.. that didn't fix it and reboots have been plenty. I'll throw win 7 on it as soon as I get a break. Well, I can't stand win 10. I mean it was ok for the past hmmm couple months but all of a sudden...so I'm blaming it on win 10 updates. The machine is a Dell 17" Inspiron i5. SSD 8 GB ram. And only office and Adobe but I've since removed adobe as to troubleshoot... Firefox still installed, chrome removed. No network during my time here tonight.

GDMike Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) 23 hours ago, TheBF said: Doesn't move here. ? Gotta go for awhile. Fixed my issue. I don't understand why it ran on your CL99 and not mine any longer, but I found a data statement that represents the length of the field value, and if I just force to a 5, for example, it worked... Anyway, I changed my DATA 0 for my Field values length to that of DATA 1 and I'm back in action.. I've always stored values using DATA 0 followed with EVEN in my source and this is the first time it threw my graphics all over the place, well understand that since it was a VMBW and who knows what high value garbage was stuck in the value.. Mystery why it ran on @BF test program.. but it is what it is.

GDMike Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Well even after losing a day of coding, I was still able to make progress this weekend. The error that ran it's course in a data statement allowed me to review how I was handling the placing of fields on the screen. I was able to rebuild that routine and I've used less code doing it and it is tighter than ever. So I'm pleased about that. I'll be coding late next week as I work Friday, Saturday and Sunday coming up, so I wonder how much can get done! 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/322987-foxit-in-progress/page/9/#findComment-4969445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVEN is unnecessary after a DATA directive because a DATA directive always starts and ends on an even address boundary. The same is true for any machine instruction. EVEN is useful after BYTE and TEXT directives because they can, in fact, leave the code on an odd address boundary. ...lee 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/322987-foxit-in-progress/page/9/#findComment-4969653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I always define as BYTE >NNNN BYTE >NNNN is going to take 1/2 of that number and put it in memory as a byte. It can't swallow an integer. And so the program counter could end up on an ODD address which 9900 does not like. Therefore as Lee says, use EVEN after BYTE or TEXT and you don't have to worry about it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/322987-foxit-in-progress/page/9/#findComment-4969704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get an assembler warning or error for that. BYTE is not treated as DATA. It is not guaranteed to start on an even boundary as is the case with DATA. It is always a good idea to end a BYTE directive or a TEXT directive with EVEN. ...lee 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/322987-foxit-in-progress/page/9/#findComment-4969708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
