Macros containing code in error by the absence of a closing parenthesis suddenly cease to function. For this reason, the patch has not been released. Here I want to explore a transitional solution by getting your feedback first. This is to include in StarBasic options dialog accessible to the client a "StarBasic Pragma Strict" option (checkbox) by which the client consciously activates the solution (the patch that has not been published!). This check box would be available for a few years with a warning to prompt programmers and customers to require their programmer to correct their default code on the closing parenthesis. <img src="cid:ii_15cee2db19b2bf58" alt="Images intégrées 1" width="564" height="397"> </div>Regards </div>Pierre </div>
