i have 7.05 on windows xp (no sp2)

#showdb has no output

e.g.

#VAR Tmp %addkey(%addkey("",one,1),two,2)
#showdb @Tmp

nothing happens!

is this something i messed up by fiddling with preferences, etc?

anybody know how to fix it?

I've had that kind of problem myself. Using %expanddb usually produced some output even though #SHOWDB didn't.

I can't see a problem. #showdb works perfectly fine for me on 7.05, using that example you provided. Quite probably, when you are using the line:

#VAR Tmp %addkey(%addkey("",one,1),two,2)

It is putting the Tmp variable into a class folder, so when you use #showdb @Tmp it can't find the @Tmp variable outside of the folder, so it shows nothing.

Try it this way:

#VAR Tmp {%addkey(%addkey("",one,1),two,2)} "" ""
#showdb @Tmp

And it'll probably work.

If you disable "Echo messages" in your Script Parser preferences, the #SHOWDB command has no output. To get around this, you can use #LOOPDB and provide your own formatted output commands with #SHOW or some similar command.
