I was making a math program and when it ran, this came up:
ERR: ?
I've never seen that before.... What does that mean?
-
Can you post your program? You're making a TI-BASIC math program without libs for the TI-83 Plus series, right?
-
Whats a lib?
It was simple. It was insignifigant so I deleted it.
Here's the part where it screwed up:
Lbl 4
Disp D
Stop
My calc got really screwed up. I tried to open an axe source code and it did some wierd stuff. Then, Ram clear
-
TI-BASIC can't corrupt your RAM. Did you run some ASM program that could have messed up your calculator?
Everything should be fine after the RAM clear though.
-
Well.... I have Doors CS7
I got the clear while editing a source code....
It's fine now
-
Sounds like a DCS7 bug. You should report it to Kerm.
-
Is that the dude who created it or something?
-
If it is an older version of Doors (or even a newer version) the STOP token might be the issue. Try changing it to a return and see if that fixes things
-
I think my doors version is new. I got it last week.
I said I got a ram clear. The program is gone now.
-
Ah D: Always remember to backup frequently ^^
-
I didnt lose anything else. It was 10 minutes from when I started the program and when it crashed. I wasnt expecting that while in ti-basic
-
Happened again! O.O
Even with the new doors version.
-
OH easy fix! Are you using axe? cause Axe doesn't use stop, it uses return instead!
-
No, this is in ti-basic
-
did you try pressing prgm when the error message comes up to see where the error is?
I've never seen that error message outside of Axe
-
I thought prgm only takes you to the error in axe.
Well, I know when it says goto, it will take you to the error, but I didnt get that option.
I think it was the Stop command that threw it off based on when the program screwed up. The stop command made it stop working the last time I got this problem. Deep thought said it was probably a DCS7 bug. Conclusion:
Stop + DCS7 = ERR: ?
-
makes sense. Yeah you should report it
-
Could you post the code?
-
It works now. Im pretty sure it was just stop.
-
probably was
-
For future reference, if you get an error that makes absolutely no sense at all, like Err:?, something crashed. You won't get a Goto of course because this error was not even supposed to be there. You got a random error screen instead of a Ram Clear. If you get one of these, your best bet is to archive everything and clear ram, because most likely a ram clear is imminent.
Also, it wouldn't surprise me if DCS was screwing up with the Stop token, zStart used to do it so I fixed it. Kerm might have just overlooked something.

I think there was that problem in DCS in the older versions, so you should update DCS if you don't have a newer stable version.

%hq5'w q tooe point. Whqt verwion of DCS do you use, and where'd you get it?
EDIT: Typing fail O.O I meant this: "That's a good point. What version...."
-
I thought the stop issue was fixed in DCS7? In any case I recommend not using stop, though, since in other shells it might screw up too.
-
Yeah, it's still generally better to use Return, which does exactly the same thing except if you're calling a program from within another program.
