Re: [Arsperl-users] missing EXTERNAL when dumping ARControlStructPtr

[Misi M. <mi...@rr...>]

Mark,

It is not altogether clear, not to me anyway.

I had a look in the ar.h file and also in the driver print.c to understand
it.

The external keyword is indicated in the ARQualifierStruct when the
operation == AR_COND_OP_FROM_FIELD.

Exerpt fron print.c in the driver program.
ARQualifierStruct *value;     /* IN; value to print */
...
  switch (value->operation)
...
    case AR_COND_OP_FROM_FIELD:
      DriverPrintResult("%s   Operation: EXTERNAL OPERATION\n", header);

I guess that the current perl version does not support the EXTERNAL
operation.

An interesting thing about your example is that it says:
EXTERNAL('600000053')
and not as I would have typed it:
EXTERNAL($600000053$)

I created a menu with my syntax and saved it, and when it is reopened it
gives me the EXTERNAL('600000053') syntax.

This is not very good I think, as the EXTERNAL() reference the value on
the current form, not the form you are searching in...
