Compiling with jBASE

Post by jimswain »

hi all

i'm trying to add the jBASE compiler onto the tools menu but all i'm getting (in the command window) when i try to compile is:

Code: Select all

 ** Error [ 201 ] ** 
Unable to open file MODS.BP

Tool completed successfully
i think this is because no paths have yet been assigned to jbase - are there any other jbase users out there who have got this working who can help ?

cheers in advance

jim

Is MODS.BP the file you're editing or something that the tool wants to open?
  • Former: make sure to use $File instead of $FileName, because it includes the absolute path.
  • Latter: start the tool with all parameters it needs, and make sure TextPad's setting "Initial folder" is set accordingly (most likely $FileDir is what you want, but it may be a different one).
You can look at the help for all possible placeholders in Reference Information > Tool Parameter Macros.
