I'm going through Black Panther's MPL tutorials and just wondering if
some of this stuff is keeping people from trying to learn MPL. My guess
is MPL has changed since the tutorials were written. I kind of enjoy the subtle 'bugs' I run into and don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking BP - thank you for the tutorials! Here's what I was able to figure out on
this first lession.
The USES command needs to preceed each "uses".
The "Byte" vartype doesn't work with "Input(#,#,#,'')" I was getting type mismatch errors with the compiler. I just changed it to string for now instead of trying to figure out how "Byte" works.
The first snippet is the original code from Tutorial 1 and the second snippet is what I changed it to so it would compile.
These were written within the last 6 months or so. There have been some minor changes.
The USES command needs to preceed each "uses".Not necessarily.
Uses
Cfg,
User
... is just as valid as
Uses Cfg
Uses User
Each of the uses must be separated by a comma.
I guess I should go back and proofread what I wrote in those
tutorials... ;)
