Re: Xy program doesn't run in NB

Harry:

Once again the ground seems to be shifting. Weren't you proposing to embed  or  in your document? That was my understanding. My routine gets the current date and time into S/G 50, nothing more. As I said earlier, you can forget S/G 50 and simply embed  and  deltas instead. Then the routine becomes simply GT BX saQ2 BX waitQ2 BX tyQ2 .

GT  "modifies" the document (i.e., sets VA$MO=1) without actually changing it, to ensure that the ensuing SAve command doesn't trigger an ineffectual "File not modified -- Proceed"; you want the file to be updated on disk so that the SAve date and time and the current date and time are the same. That's all that code does.

No, it DID come out right. The square brackets are *intended*. HELP XMACRO.

It's the way to go, IMO -- especially if you want to avoid re-SAving the document every time you
TYpe it.
