btm won't run in ver. 17 but works in ver. 16

[redwdc]

I have a command line calendar (like Unix "cal") back in 2008 that for some reason isn't working with:

TCC 17.00.71 x64 Windows 8.1 [Version 6.3.9600]
TCC Build 71 Windows 8.1 Build 9600​

I'm getting the following error:

C:\Util\TCMD17x64\clc.btm [109] Usage : SCRPUT row col [BRIght] fg ON BRIght] bg text

Line 109 reads:

scrput %row %c bla on whi %z

Where
%row = the row number
%c = the column number
edited to
%z = %@char[32] (the only way I know of to get a leading blank space printed to screen.)
from
%z = ASCII 255

If I run it with different parameters I will eventually get scrput errors for other lines.

Except for the directory names the ini files are the same.

If wanted I can post files and pictures on a web page.


In another btm ver. 17 is also not showing ASCII boxes as lines.

Not reproducible. Can you post the batch files here?

Here's the command line calendar (CLC) code. The parameters are explained at the bottom (help section).

The problem line is 110 here I made a spacing change to the code.

Sorry about not using a code box, I don't see the option in my browser.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: CLC will not do years prior to 1583 or after 9999, this was
done intentionally as an error prevention measure.

For years prior to 1583 this is technically correct. The Gregorian or the
current solar calendar was Decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in a papal bull
in February 1582, to correct an error in the Julian calendar by suppressing
10 days, causing Oct 5 to become Oct 15. It was not adopted by Great
Britain and the American colonies until 1752.

See http://calendopedia.com/gregory.htm for a list of when the different
countries adopted the this calendar.

As for after 9999, it my be my limited sense of reality, but I don't
really think it's necessary.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The correct format for CLC is:

CLC s - the week starts on Sunday (must be first)

CLC month - i.e. CLC 5 - for May of the current year.

or:

CLC month year - i.e. CLC 5 1957 - for May 1957

or:

CLC year - i.e. CLC 1957 - for the entire year of 1957

months need to be between 1 an 12
years need to have 4 digits i.e. 1957

The .BTM works with no errors on my

TCC  16.03.55  Windows Vista [Version 6.0.6002]
TCC Build 55  Windows Vista Build 6002  Service Pack 2

but gives the same error that op got on my

TCC  17.00.71  Windows Vista [Version 6.0.6002]
TCC Build 71  Windows Vista Build 6002  Service Pack 2

A simple test is OK here. Could it depend on what @CHAR[255] is?

 

[redwdc]

vefatica, Thank you, you pointed out a mistake in my message I hadn't realized, z=%@char[32] assignment is on line 79

 

[rconn]

TCC (in both v16 and v17) strips trailing spaces from the line. In v16, SCRPUT with no text argument does nothing. In v17, SCRPUT complains.

The question is whether you would rather have SCRPUT not do anything (and not tell you that it's not doing anything), or return an error in this case?

Then the question is, is there a way to print a blank space (%@char[32]) as the last character in v 17 without the error message without asking you to do a rewrite?

 

[Charles Dye]

I would change lines like

scrput %row %c bla on whi %z

to

scrput %row %c bla on whi ` `

(a space between two strong quotes).

 

[vefatica]

Also

 

[redwdc]

I would change lines like

scrput %row %c bla on whi %z

to

scrput %row %c bla on whi ` `

(a space between two strong quotes).

Thank you Charles.

 

[Charles Dye]

Thank you Charles.

You bet.
