[2.18] %db() bug **Problem located**
|
I don't know why it is, but I've been having this problem lately. If I keep CMUD up and running, %db stops working. For instance, one of my aliases shows this:
| Code: |
| %if( %0, %0, %db( @Level_Info_DB, ReportChannel)) " ~@RL~@rast etc..." |
When I start up CMUD, it works fine. Reports on the hour, every hour. But after a couple of hours of runtime, it doesn't work anymore. Instead of sending:
which is default, it sends
dropping what's in %db(@Level_Info_DB, ReportChannel). And while:
| Code: |
| #SHOW @Level_Info_DB.ReportChannel |
reports gt,
| Code: |
| #SHOW %db(@Level_Info_DB, ReportChannel) |
returns a blank.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my earlier bug report of aliases affecting %eval, and I doubt that it that is the case, since other functions work well, not to mention nothing has really changed except the uptime. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If need be, I can send my package, and someone can check to see if that's the problem...

Your first example needs updating, assuming that that's the full line. It seems to be, given the way you talk about it sending something.
But since it's failing when the line begins with a command as well, it might not solve the problem. |

Right. That's not the problem. I was using that as an example, and in this case, without a start command, it still works. The main issue lies with %db(@blah, blah) not working after a while. It doesn't matter if you put #EXEC, #CALL, #SHOW, or whatever in front of it. It does not work. Even still, I know I need to update the start commands. *shrug*

I managed to (once again) find the problem with the function.
If you have a database open (I use one for my findmob script), it disables usage of %db. You can also close the database, but it still won't allow %db to work unless you type #DBCLOSE on the command line. Figured it out when I closed CMUD and realized I still had my database open.
Databases should have no effect on the internal command %db. Just like aliases should have no effect on %eval. Something to look into.

Hmm, it shouldn't be disabling %db. When you have a database open, the %db function can be used to access the current record of the database. But that shouldn't effect the other normal operation of %db. I'll look into it.
