When running a very simple macro over say 100 or so lines of a source file, to do a very simple reformatting and data entry, I have repeatedly made these fail when I press F8 too many times repeatedly, or if I enter a playback count #. Zeus halts and all is lost. These are macros recorded from the session ad hoc. An example might be:
function key_macro()
screen_update_disable()
MoveLineRightEx()
MoveLineRightEx()
MarkCopyEx()
MoveLineRightEx()
MoveDocumentEndEx()
print("ROADWAY.")
MarkPasteEx()
print("%TYPE,")
MoveLineHome()
MoveLineDown()
screen_update_enable()
screen_update()
end

key_macro() -- run the macro

This guy types a table name in front of a column name in some SQL code for example. Looks benign to me...

Which version of Zeus are you running

When I run your macro I get ever increasing lines of code:

Code: Select all

ROADWAY.
ROADWAY.ROADWAY.%TYPE,
ROADWAY.ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,
ROADWAY.ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,
ROADWAY.ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,
ROADWAY.ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,ROADWAY.%TYPE,
................................................................................

Is that what it is meant todo

I can imagine that if this macro is run repeatedly the line length would end up being extremely long and that might cause some problems

The macro, when it runs, fixes a line, goes to column 1, and moves down to the next line that has to be fixed, and ends. It does not do what you experienced. Yours is never moving down through the text file to fix data lines. Perhaps you didn't start from a file of data lines.

I am running Zeus 3.96h

The first thing you need to do is patch your current install so you are running the latest version of Zeus.

You can get the patch file from here: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6
