Error changing value in schedule

[Kristian Bursell]

Some users are reporting errors in that the 2D representation (in plan window) disappears when a parameter value is edited via an Interactive Schedule. I cannot replicate the issue but have heard of it before.

Has anyone else experience this issue and is there a known solution?

This issue has arisen again and I need to fix is. I am thankfully getting an error message now.
The error message is reporting “Incompatible Array Dimensions” however I cannot fixed the problem.
I use dynamic arrays extensively and
Example of script below with the error line being “xVPanel = _xVPanel”:

dim _xVPanel[1][]

for i = 1 to vertpan_numb
if i > vardim2(xVPanel) then
_xVPanel[1][i] = .160
else
_xVPanel[1][i] = xVPanel[1][i]
endif
next i

xVPanel = _xVPanel

parameters xVPanel = xVPanel

thanks,
Kristian

Hi Kristian,

I only get this error when the array parameter is one-dimensional in the libpart editor. Change it two two-dimensional by inserting a column.

One and two-dimensional dynamic arrays are not interchangeable.

Thanks Péter,
The arrays that are in the error are two-dimensional but they being generated by other arrays that are one dimensional so perhaps the trail will lead back to them.
The object has many 1D arrays such that it will be a large job to convert them all. Is there are known reason and a possible work around, other than changing all arrays to 2D?

Why are you using a two-dimensional array with the first dimension size only 1? Is that only for the example?

Possible workaround: the parameters are dynamic arrays too. You can append items to it beyond its current size.

si = vardim2(a2)
if n > si then
	for i = si + 1 to n
		a2[1][i] = -1
	next i
	parameters a2 = a2
endif

The reason for the 2D array with the first dimension set to 1 is only because i am using it for space between vertical frame elements, so its not necessary, its just easier for me to read.

I will make some changes based on your advice and hopefully get the issue resolved.

Thanks for your help
