Operator. Precedence level 5. See Bitwise Operators in Chapter 4: Expressions.

=

The = operator has two functions. See Operators in Chapter 4: Expressions.

Assignment Operator. Precedence level 10. Assign a value to a variable (synonym for ":="). See =.

Relational Equality Operator. Precedence level 6. Determines if operands are equal.

Returns True if two operands are equal, or False if not.

This operator is defined for values and arrays. Two arrays are equal if they have the same number of dimensions and all corresponding elements are equal.

z := {1; 2; 3} = {1; 2; 3}

Result: z = True

z := {1; 2; 3} = {1; 3; 2}

Result: z = False

z := {1; 2; 3} = {1; 2; 3; 4}

Result: z = False

<>

boolean := any <> any

False if two operands are equal, True if not.

This operator is defined for values and arrays. Two arrays are not equal if they have different dimensions or if at least one corresponding element is not equal.

z := {1; 2; 3} <> {1; 2; 3}

Result: z = False

z := {1; 2; 3} <> {1; 3; 2}

Result: z = True

z := {1; 2; 3} <> {1; 2; 3; 4}

Result: z = True

!=

False if two operands are equal, True if not.

This operator is defined for values and arrays. Two arrays are not equal if they have different dimensions or if at least one corresponding element is not equal.

z := {1; 2; 3} != {1; 2; 3}

Result: z = False

z := {1; 2; 3} != {1; 3; 2}

Result: z = True

z := {1; 2; 3} != {1; 2; 3; 4}

Result: z = True

[ ]

[0]

Operator. Specify zero as the index regardless of the number of dimensions.

The same value is returned by the command vElements := Dimensions (array[]; 0). See Dimensions command.

vElements := Array[0]

Result: vElements = 90

//

The compiler ignores all text between // and the next hard return [HRt].

Comment text does not affect macro execution. The comment line, including spaces, has a maximum length of 512 characters.

/* */

The compiler ignores all text between /* and */ (// comments end at the next hard return [HRt]). Comment text does not affect macro execution.

Comment blocks can be nested. If nested, a comment terminator (*/) must occur for every comment start (/*). The count must match. A /* */ statement on a line after // is ignored.

A block of macro statements can be commented out by a comment block with a /* on a line above the statements and a */ on a line below. Without removing /* and */, the statements can be reactivated by putting a // statement before /* and */, which comments out the comment markers.

AbsVal

Get the absolute value of a value.

The absolute value is the distance a value is from zero, and is always positive. If the value is negative, the absolute value is the positive equivalent of the same value. The absolute value of a positive value is the same value.

AppClose

ReturnValue

AppExecute

Application handle (unique number) if the application is successfully started, or an error value less than or equal to 32 if not. For the list of error values, refer to your Windows 95 documentation.

Check error values with code similar to the following:

vError := AppExecuteExt (string; enumeration)
Switch(vError)
  CaseOF 0: ...statement block...
  CaseOF 2: ...statement block...
EndSwitch

AppExecuteExt

The same as AppExecute. See AppExecute.

Application

Identify, for the compiler, an application to use in a macro.

Application is a non-executable statement that can occur anywhere in a macro, but it must precede product commands to the application it identifies.

Applications used in the macro automatically start unless they are already active. The user cannot terminate an application used in a macro until the macro ends.

AppLocate

Return a window handle.

AppLocate compares a name to the title bar text of all open windows. If a match is found, the window handle of the matching window is returned. If the search criteria matches more than one window, the window handle of the most recently opened window is returned. If no match is found, zero is returned.

You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character at any position in the AppLocate parameter. If the parameter contains only an asterisk, AppLocate returns the window handle of the active window.

Assert

Create a Cancel, Error, or Not Found condition, or user-defined condition. See OnCondition.

A Cancel, Error, Not Found, or user condition stops a macro unless preceded by OnCancel, OnError, OnNotFound, or OnCondition, which direct macro execution to a specified Label. Assert has no effect when preceded by Cancel(Off!), Error(Off!), NotFound(Off!), or OnCondition(<Condition>; Off!)

An error value is assigned to variable ErrorNumber when one of the conditions occur. The values are:

ErrorNumber.CancelConditionAsserted!

ErrorNumber.ErrorConditionAsserted!

ErrorNumber.NotFoundConditionAsserted!

ErrorNumber.UserDefinedCondition!

You cannot assign a value to ErrorNumber.

Use code similar to the following to check all conditions with one subroutine (see Subroutines in Chapter 5: Conditional, Loop, and Calling Statements).

OnError(Condition)
OnCancel(Condition)
OnNotFound(Condition)
...other statements...

Label(Condition)
Switch(ErrorNumber)
 CaseOF ErrorNumber.ErrorConditionAsserted!: ...statement block...
 CaseOF ErrorNumber.CancelConditionAsserted!: ...statement block...
 CaseOF ErrorNumber.NotFoundConditionAsserted!: ...statement block...
EndSwitch
