GOTO Command

I'm having a problem with the GOTO command in the following code.  It should return me to the same element after making a selection from the list, but it doesn't, it sends the focus to the next element.

Am I overlooking something here, or is this a bug?  (I used this same basic code in Q&A with proper results.)


if @right(Name, 2) = ".." and @len(Name) > 2 then
    {
    Name = @left(Name, @len(Name) - 2 )
    xuserselectr(@fn, "NewForm!Name", "Name", Name, Name + "zzzzzzzz", Name)
    goto Name
    }

Carl, it is a known bug and fixed in version 1.0.2.

Bharat,

Thanks for reminding me.  After re-reading your post, I do remember seeing that already. Embarrassed

I should have done a search before I posted. Smiley

Same Topic....different issue, (Carl's is resolved !)

I have been trying to make a dynamic GOTO by using a variable as the destination.  None of these three works:
=================================
1.
GOTO @CurrentElement()

2.
var vgCurrentElement as String
vgCurrentElement = @CurrentElement()
GOTO vgCurrentElement

3.
var vgCurrentElement as String
vgCurrentElement = "NextElement"    //Any element but current
GOTO vgCurrentElement

I can understand that perhaps the first two do not work because the known issue that cannot do GOTO to self.  But the third option tries to go to any other element but does not work.  Am curious about the logic that prevents this process from being used.

===========================
Another related question re timing of GOTO execution:

I have been experimenting with CurrentElement() and it appears that if I use CurrentElement() in ElementExit Event, that the CurrentElement() value may come back as the next Element as directed by the program vs. the "real" current element where these program lines are originating from.

Hmmmm.....never mind, I will make this a separate Topic: Timing of Events.

Bob,

I don't believe that what you are trying to do will be possible, until we implement a variable type in SBasic which can hold an actual element reference. GoTo does not take a string. It takes an element reference.

GoTo FirstName and GoTo "FirstName" are not the same thing.

Thanks for quick reply Erika. 

I won't spend much more time experimenting with that for now.  I guess that also explains why GOTO @Field(NextElement) also will not work (with the desired element name actually bound to NextElement).

A variable type in SBasic which can hold an actual element reference will be a big enhancement for some dynamic programming.
