TAS Professional code tips |
|
In this short explanation we will try to explain sone of the undocumented features in the code editor/Compiler so lets get started.
In Earlier versions of TAS Version 4 and 5 you could truncate a line by using the '|' character In tas 6 and 7 we had to change this to a '||'
Example of using '||'
field1 = field2
field3 = field4
or
field1 = field2 || field3 = field4
will do the same thing.
Example of Set_Object
set_object 'button1' property 'caption' value 'My Button Caption'
or
'@button1.caption' = 'My Button Caption'
Long Message using the +\
msg "The maximum number of columns has been chosen. "+\
"Do not choose to print the Account Codes and "+\
"Calculated Percentages. There is not enough room on this 132 column report "+\
"for all the options you can choose here. You may choose one or the other, however."
You can also control CRLF in a message or Ask
ask "******************** CAUTION ********************"+crlf(2)+\
"This program will clear all 'yearly' data fields. "+\
"Please refer to your documentation for more details. "+\
"Also, be sure you have obtained back-ups for all data. "+crlf(2)+\
"More instructions follow// you may exit at any time. "+\
"Do you wish to continue?"
Breaking long command lines with the \ Char
scan @dict_hndl key dict_overlay while dict_buff_name = loc_buff_name start loc_buff_name,0! for (dict_type<>'V' .and. dict_type<>'O' .a. dict_type<> 'M') .a. dict_size<>0 scope N 1490
OR
scan @dict_hndl key dict_overlay while dict_buff_name = loc_buff_name \
start loc_buff_name,0! for (dict_type<>'V' .and. dict_type<>'O' .a. dict_type<> 'M') .a. dict_size<>0 \
