I got a SeqEdit.exe Problem Message when Inserted expression, is it a bug?

[Hecuba]

I was trying to insert an expression in the Expression Browser to evaluate limits, but every time I selected "Insert" it displied a SeqEdit.exe problem message and quited TS.

The problem was always with the same specific expression. There are attached 3 files to show the problem. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I'll appreciate your help.

Hecuba,

This was reported to R&D (# 141372) for further investigation by our developers. After preliminary investigation, it appears as if the CheckLimits() expression language function is not properly checking how many parameters you have passed to it.  If you pass the correct number of parameters, it should work correctly.

Thank you for the feedback, and for helping us make TestStand a better product!

Josh,

Thanks for your replay.

If you notice in the attachments I was passing the first parameter when I got the problem while the Checklimits() expression supports up to four, and the parameter was formed using mouse clicks, I did not type anything, so I believe the syntax is correct. If there were something wrong with it the "Check Expression for Errors..." should point it, right?

How can I track a report of your developers?

Here's a quick workaround to be able to use the Expression Browser to insert the functions. Once you insert the CheckLimits() function remove the final closing ')'. Fill in the rest of the function with the 4 expected arguments and then add a closing ')'.

Here's the prototype for CheckLimits

CheckLimits(Number Value, Number High, Number Low, String comparisionType, Optional Boolean doNotCopyToResults = TRUE)
