Re: [Bug-apl] Quad ES message too long

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Bill,

I can;t really tell what your program is doing and how the fault resp. feature can be reproduced
in a simpler way. What I observed is, however, that the failed line seems to be the only one
where proto is a character scalar:

Working lines (first example only):

s1←tb_sched_init 'TB' 'Trial Balance'
JSA: proto is:
┏→━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃┏→━┓ 1 ┏→━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ d 1010 1110 1310 1320 1390 1410┃
┃┃CA┃   ┃Current Assets┃                                ┃
┃┗━━┛   ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛                                ┃
┗∊━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
JSA: 1⊃proto is:
┏→━┓
┃CA┃
┗━━┛
JSA: util∆stringp 1⊃prot is:
┏→┓
┃1┃
┗━┛


Failed line:

s1← s1 tb_line_init 'EQ' 15 'Equity' 'c' 3100 3990
JSA: proto is:
┏→━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃S 40 ┏→━━━━┓ c 5010┃

┃     ┗━━━━━┛       ┃

LINE NAME MUST BE A CHARACTER STRING

Are you sure that that is intended?

Jürgen,

I've attached the my apl library so that you can recreate my bug if need be.

My problem is the messages generated by Quod-es:

LINE NAME MUST BE A CHARACTER STRING
      'ID' 'TB' 'title' 'A Schedule' 'lines' ('CA' 1 'Current Assets' 'd' (1010 1110 1
      310 1320 1390 1410) ' ' 'CL' 10 'Curren
      t Liabilities' 'c' (2010 211
      0 2310) ' ' 'LTD' 11 'Long-term Debt' 'c' (271
      0) ' ' 'EQ' 15 'Equit
      y' 'c' (3100 3990) ' ') 'fns' 'tb_sched_workpaper' tb_line_init 'S' 40 'Sales' 'c' 5010
^ ^
The command line that generated this was:

s1← s1 tb_line_init 'S' 40 'Sales' 'c' 5010

and the particular line in tb_line_init was:

  ⎕es (~util∆stringp 1⊃proto)/'LINE NAME MUST BE A CHARACTER STRING'


If you unpack this tarball, edit exampleSession.apl and change the )load 1 tb to find tb.apl.  You should get my message.

If this is a feature not a bug just say 'Bill, this is a feature.'

Thanx
