On an Alpha running OVMS V7.1, in IDL 4.0.1x, the following worked for
values of 'high_start_rec' > 65535; at least I have no recollection of its
ever failing:
if keyword_set(high_start_rec) then begin
if high_start_rec ge 0 then begin
start_high_rec = long(high_start_rec)
scan_high = 1
endif else scan_high = 0
endif else begin
scan_high = 0
end
In 5.0, however, I need to modify it as follows in order to get it to work:
if keyword_set(high_start_rec) then begin
if long(high_start_rec) ge 0 then begin
^^^^^ ^
start_high_rec = long(high_start_rec)
scan_high = 1
endif else scan_high = 0
endif else begin
scan_high = 0
end
Is this a feature? Is it changed in 5.0.2?
TIA,
Joe Gurman
