Was trying to get simple AMAL timer clock to work, and bobs weren't updating with this code which used to work in AMOS:-
Amal 1,"A0,(55,50)(46,50)(47,50)(48,50)(49,50)(50,50)(51,50)(52,50)(53,50)(54,50)"
I simply added a space between 'A' and '0', and now it works :)
Amal 1,"A 0,(55,50)(46,50)(47,50)(48,50)(49,50)(50,50)(51,50)(52,50)(53,50)(54,50)"
Thanks for the work-around. That'll help until this bug is corrected. :-)
Not sure it's a bug really, because I think 'A' is short for 'Anim', and abbreviations were implemented in amal. If you used Anim, you left a space, that why I tried it. Not really a problem if we have to amend a few bits of code here and there imo.
Well, I must admit, from what you said, I was only *assuming* this was a bug, since I haven't done much with AMAL. I think I used it a little bit 30 years ago, but I really don't recall. Did you try your code out in AMOS Pro to see if it works without the space? That's what I've been doing before posting bug reports, to make sure it wasn't something that *I* did wrong.
Yes, it all runs fine in AMOS Pro. It's like another (bug?) I posted where a label name following procedures isn't picked up and generates and error. Is it a bug, or should we just tidy up our programs and make sure all procedures are at the end? Not really a problem, and looking at some of my programs, they're a real mess when it comes to being organised.
That IS a bug! ;) Thanks for it.
AMAL syntax is very useful in writing codes because it guides the beginners to teach the right method of writing codes. Having said that academized.com reviews invent more codes as a sample.
