Built-in BR Editor - duplicate labels not caught during edit

Post by **Susan Smith** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 4:43 pm

Gordon,

In BR 4.20c, I've noticed that the built-in BR editor no longer checks for duplicate line labels as you are editing, but only when you try to save the program (when you get err 1005). Is that by design? And if so, what's the thinking behind it?

Prior versions of BR would snag that error at the time you are editing, rather than only upon program save.

Susan:

It's by design. It was discussed briefly at the Spring conference. I believe the rational was to allow an easier interface with external editors that were causeing import interupts when a label was moved.

That makes perfect sense. I can see how that is absolutely necessary with external editors. Thanks George.

I also found it very helpfull when "Merging" or "Proc" external libraries. Temporarily, it's nice to allow the code to import.

Funny that you mention this. I was doing a lot of merging yesterday and I came to the same conclusion. Now I'm REALLY liking this new feature
