no more command

hi

on pdms 12.1, no more command are available : i get always "syntax error".

before, i do $s- $s+ and all command back but not this time.

how to unlock pdms ?

thanks

You can always run the command ”$q” in any situation, that will list any command that you can run. Probably you have to issue an ”exit” or two in case a form has crashed. ”Finish” nearly always works too, that will shut down PDMS so you can start over.

here the result of $q

$q
)              Sfeet (space{+/-}digits')     Xfeet ({+/-}digits')
Sdigit (space{+/-}digits)     Xdigit ({+/-}digits)
Sfract (space{+/-}digits/digits)             Xfract ({+/-}digits/digits)
Spoint (space .)              Xpoint (.)     +.             -.             (
Newline

i can't run any command even "finish" or "exit" : i got always "syntax error"

other idea

anyway thanks for help

It looks like you could just type a closing bracket, ")", to get to a more normal state. Do you know what you did when this happened? Did you run a macro? Open a form? Something else?

i was input weight for bolt (bweight in dtab), and i try a copy/paste from my excel sheet witch contains my weight value

hi mno

that's right : in my copy/paste i forgot the last )

thanks

You can't copy & paste data from an excel sheet, but you still shouldn't get the messages you are getting. Weird, but the reason is that you are pasting data from Excel.
