 Hi,

 

When i get error  like this one:


*Error* dbCreateVia: argument #2 should be a database object (type template = "ddltg") - 1

 

where can i find what a database object of  "ddltg" type template is?

 

Regards,

Elxa

    Hi Elxa

    The part about the template should not be important. It is just a result of using the wrong input for dbCreateVia SKILL cmd. If you are running a script, you would need to debug it to find the cause of the error.

    Hi Elxa,

    The type template is a way of functions encoding their expected argument types, and is covered in the SKILL language user guide.

    In this case it is telling you that it expects two database objects, then a list, then a text string, and then a generic object (ie it doesn't check the type of the fifth arg).

    The specific error in this case expands the data type into something more readable, and says that the second argument should be a database object but you've passed a number.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew
