Re: problem executing code "saved" using SAVE command

[Reimar Bauer <r.bauer(at)fz-juelich.de>]

Dear Tom,

I have written a compile routine for idl.

And we have had no problems with this compiled code.

You should try this routine.

http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_html/dbase/download/compile.tar.gz

idl > compile,'main_gui.pro'

and additional a function inside is created
 main_gui_info

print,main_gui_info() 

shows all compiled and embedded pro and sav files.
(last modification ,file /dir ...)

RESTRICTIONS:
!PATH     is undefined during runtime
execute   won't work in runtime



If my routine won't work I am interested to learn from you!

regards
Reimar

p.s. better you don't post HTML

You can restore the file in the idl development and execute then
main_gui.
If you see that's something additional is compiled then this is the
reason
why it's not working
