Here's another delicate problem that's easy to work around, but still very strange:
Module 2: ———Code starts below——— REM ***** BASIC ***** Option Explicit Public Const VALUE=1 Public Const STRING=4 Public Const FORMULA=16 Public Const DATETIME=2 Sub HelloWorld Print "Hello world!" End Sub ———End of code——— Module1: ———Code starts below——— REM ***** BASIC ***** Option Explicit Sub Main Dim A A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA End Sub ———End of code——— Run Main and you will get an error message at ”A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA”. If you run step by step (Ctrl+F8 in the BASIC IDE) and stop at that line and then hover your mouse pointer over VALUE or STRING or FORMULA, you can clearly see its values, but obviously this doesn't help. Dimensioning A as Variant, as I did, doesn't help either. If you look at VALUE, STRING or FORMULA in the variable monitor (or whatever it's called in English), the window at the bottom left, you can see that they are Variant/Integer and you can see their correct values. So now, let's move the constant definition to Module1: Module 2: ———Code starts below——— REM ***** BASIC ***** Option Explicit Sub HelloWorld Print "Hello world!" End Sub ———End of code——— Module1: ———Code starts below——— REM ***** BASIC ***** Option Explicit Public Const VALUE=1 Public Const STRING=4 Public Const FORMULA=16 Public Const DATETIME=2 Sub Main Dim A A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA End Sub ———End of code——— Now Main in Module1 works as expected, but take a look in the monitor again. Those constants appears in exactly the same way this time as before, the only exception is that this works. I would be very grateful for an explanation about this. Is there REALLY a logical reason for it to be this way or should I report this as a bug as soon as possible? Of course I can define those constants in every module, but isn't one of the points by declaring as Public that I can reach them in all my modules? Well, in this case I can; I just can't use them, at least not when adding them to each other. ”A=VALUE” works in both my examples, but obviously not ”A=VALUE+STRING+FORMULA” for some reason I am sure absolutely nobody can explain, so please prove me wrong here…! :D Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@api.openoffice.org with Subject: help
