Using toplevel('ils) in an ocean script causes undefined variable errors

MatthewLove

I'm trying to run a load pull test using Ocean. If I set the toplevel environment to Scheme mode (ils), the script generated by ADE breaks due to scoping errors. Is there any way around this?

This is valid ocean code.

    constantPowerContours = cPwrContour(...)
    plot( constantPowerContours ?expr '( "Constant Power Contours" ) )

while this code breaks

    toplevel('ils)

    ...

    constantPowerContours = cPwrContour(...)
    plot( constantPowerContours ?expr '( "Constant Power Contours" ) )

and gives the following error on IC 6.1.6

    *Error* eval: unbound variable - myVar1

Any ideas?

  • Matthew,

    The only suffix (for SKILL/OCEAN files) that makes a difference is ".ils" - that causes the file to be treated with Scheme/SKILL++ semantics. Anything else is in SKILL language mode. So yes, the ".ocn" suffix is for human consumption (as is the .il suffix, in fact).

    I think you'll have the same problem with plot if you use the .ils suffix too (at least in IC616 and before) - the macro would need to call eval(... theEnvironment()) for it to work in both language modes - this is assuming there aren't any other things that needed fixing.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
