Invalid syntax for the Assign command

Posted by James Palmer on 10-Sep-2015 06:35

Dev Studio 11.5 32 bit. In debug mode when I hit a breakpoint I get: 

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Invalid syntax for the ASSIGN command. (4354)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

This is a fresh install of the software and a brand new workspace. 

Any ideas?

Can you reproduce this with a simple code example? This is a known issue but we don't have a small reproducible case to debug.

Thanks [mention:931f7f12516e4daa930b60341926d260:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] glad I'm not alone on this! Unfortunately I can't narrow it down to a small case. Wouldn't know where to start to be honest.

James,
 
Can you consistently reproduce the behavior?  Even that would be helpful as you could then just zip up your entire workspace and send that to us.

Yes it seems to happen on every break point in one project, but not the other.

I'm raising a case and attaching the Workspace.

James,
 
Can you please open a support case?  We can then give you the steps to upload the file to us.  Just zip up the entire workspace exactly as it is.

Thanks James.
 
Please be sure to add the steps we will need to reproduce the error.

James,

I've been looking at a case reported by another customer and in their case the error occurs because they have a table named MENU. MENU is a keyword that the debugger recognizes so when it sees MENU as a table name it gets confused. Do you have any tables named VARIABLE, MENU, MENU-ITEM, FRAME, BROWSE, or FIELD? There may also be other keywords that the debugger will stumble on but those are the ones I know about right now.

Yes I have a Menu table and it's referenced in the problematic code. It's not in production yet so I can quite happily rename it to something else.
