[GiDlist] .bas file problems

[Mark Smith]

Win98 GiD 6.3.0b

Dear GiD team & users

I'm having some problems with unexpected behaviour of *if *else *elseif
etc
can you have a look at the attached code and tell me why the output is not
as expected

rgbtest.bas = sample code

rgb.txt = output of .bas code

expected.txt what I expect the output to be ( done in mathcad)


expected.txt RGBtest.bas rgb.txt

Regards
Mark

[Enrique Escolano]

This is bug of GiD parsing the condition if(z=e1)
the variable e1 is evaluated incorrectly as a exponential number 0e1, not as the variable named e1,
and the result is only true if z=0

This bug is corrected for the next GiD version.

You can avoid this bug if not use names as e"number" (e1, e206, etc) for the variables.

Thanks for your report.
