------- Additional comments from t...@openoffice.org Sat Sep 19 16:44:52 +0000 2009 ------- Basic messages are unhelpful. Example:: if Inc<Lvls(i)then --> error msg: Inadmissible value or data type. Index out of defined range ...vague! What variable is at fault? Inc, i, or Lvls? What is inadmissible: a value, or a data type? Index... I guess it's 'i'; what was its value when the error occurred? defined range... what is its value? --eg, 1...9? Of course, a brief msg is enough for the basic expert, who quickly sees what the problem is. But the unexperienced user learns from his/her errors... provided the error messages are clear and specific. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
