The EE editor

 

开云体育

Folks,

I seem to have found a quirk in the EE editor, or perhaps the “C” run time it depends on. If I edit an existing file. E.g.

?

EE TEST FILE A

?

Or

?

EE TEST FILE

?

The filemode is set to “A1” even if the existing file is “A2”. I haven’t investigated the run time…

.. it makes creating helpfiles a minor chore…

?

Hi Dave, I have had a look at the code. I made a posting earlier (which I have now deleted) which was misleading.
I have a question. Is this an interaction between FSLIST/EE or a direct call from the command line?
I have tried passing A2 through from the command line and that all works OK. There is a line in the code which (I think) will complete the third parameter with "A" if it is not supplied. This might be the source of the issue.
 

Apologies Dave, I now see that you have answered my question already.
 

Hi Ant,

I believe the correct operation would be to preserve the file mode number of an existing?file, even if the number was not supplied on the EE invocation. That should eliminate any interactions with what FSLIST may supply, when EE is called by FSLIST.? ? ? ? ??

Best regards,
Bob Bolch

Anthony,

No I think the first posting was OK. Its when you call it from the command line, so go:-

?

EE TEST FILE

?

Where test file has mode A2 it loads it as “A1”. I assume it just does an “open” with “TEST FILE” and we lose the “A1/A2”

Hi Dave, Yep, thanks. I think it is clear what is going wrong. I think I can see where to inject a fix. Not sure what the protocol is around doing that as I am a newbie in this world. Is someone else going to fix this?
More to learn. When officially do I get to be "too old for this" :-)

I would hope Dr Hanz-Walter l would either fix it or list it as a restriction. He is usually pretty good.

. if not we can do it.
