Vericut hangs if..........

I went to Word/Address, to add an error macro, and I inadvertantly typed the text that should have been in "Override Text" in the "Override Value" field.  Vericut got "stuck,"  had to end process.

Hello Al,

VERICUT should not hang, if you can reproduce the steps, please send the files and the steps to reproduce the problem to Tech Support and we will look at it immediately.

Thank you

Re: Vericut hangs if..........

Al, some additional testing has shown that most text strings entered in the ORV field produce an evaluated value of "0", which is harmless. Unfortunately, there are a few combinations that cause the "hang" which you discovered. I was able to identify a couple of text strings that cause the problem, thus reported the problem to our Devleopment staff. As Serge said, VERICUT should not hang even though we may have done something that was not expected. Thanks for reporting this. --Gene

UPDATE!
VERICUT Version 5.4.4 uses a new calculator for the Override Value fields (Word/Address Add/modify and Events Add/modify windows). The new calculator has the same functionality, but has many improvements, including:

- Eliminates the problem reported in this forum thread
- Much more lenient on the syntax of the line
- If an error is encountered with the syntax, prints an error indicating the problem string

(NOTE:  If # is used to identify a variable name, a space is still required after the variable name.)
