I think I've seen this before but can't remember what I did to fix it last time ...
When I gen a function it just sits there (I thought it was IDE at first ... sorry Rob ;-). There are no file locks on the bootstraps and the problem still occurs when I copy the function to a new name and gen that so it's definitely something in the function.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Mike

Assuming you have done the obvious file integrity and security checks,
you should remove parts of the function piece by piece until it will
gen - then check what you removed.
Stuff like invalid co-ordinates can cause this.

Thanks Mike 
Try the TRACEALL, and see what its really doing...
As Chris says, I think invalid window or paging screen sizes might cause that....

Hi Jasjac,We've had something like that before and it turned out to be a full stop '.' at the end of a logic line.
Had us baffled for ages !!
Dont suppose you have an example of that do you?
Or what kernel version / OS you were on.
It doesnt seem to do that for me, on HP Unix and 5.5 Proiv kernel.
So that I can figure out what the problem is, and then I can make a check in ProIV IDE to warn people about it.
Its this kind of thing that you can spend hours over trying to resolve, so a automatic check would be good...
Thanks,
Rob D.

Hi Rob
I remember this one now. There was a . at the end of a line of logic. That's all. There must have been something specific about the logic line though as if I try that randomly now it actually gens (even though it's technically an invalid logic line !!)
My problem was the same but different:
I had the following code:
Obviously I'd missed a quote mark after RBC. but the gen doesn't pick it up as an error, it just hangs - presumably because the last character was a "."

Doesnt hang on our system, Proiv 5.5r345
Just says NO FILE DEFINITION FOR VARIABLE - .'
What version are you on?

Since that line of logic is over 70/100 chars... how are you splitting it up in logic?
Maybe that has something to do with it...

We're on 5.5 r323,maybe it's been fixed since then
The logic was split over 3 lines - just put it into one for convenience. Don't think it should make a difference but it looks like this:
Obviously it's been fixed now ;-) but it looks the same otherwise.

Something I wish VIP had. Especially when doing bulk file changes etc. Having to re-gen the function for every wrong logic ID can get very tiresome.But there's something that would be nice to have in IDE - a logic validator.
Saves saving and genning the function when you know it's going to fail.
Cheers
Mike
