Debugging Gdxxrw instructions

Top  Previous  Next

Just like anywhere else users will make mistakes in specifying Gdxxrw input.  Such mistakes cause error messages in the log file or process window.  Several procedures are appropriate when debugging a set of instructions

When a new Gdxxrw is being set up users should use a trace value of 2 and then examine the log file or process window contents to make sure proper actions are being pursued.
Start simple just getting one or two objects, not all that might be desired and work your way up.
Note that when Gdxxrw encounters errors and is reading it does not generate a proper GDX file and subsequent procedures using that file may encounter errors.
Be careful in only specifying upper left-hand corners of ranges
When reading always use this with a setting of skipempty=0.
When writing recognize the program will clear the entire sheet to the right and below the corner.
