Code compiled on one terminal not working on another, Why?
In V6 we support space taking and non-space taking terminals. In V7,
we do not support space taking terminals. An issue can arise when
someone is compiling code on a non-space taking terminal and trying
to display it on a space taking terminal and vice-versa. The typical
scenario is the code will only run on the terminal type you compiled
the code against. So if you compile the code on a wyse150 and then
try to run it on a wyse50, it may not run. If you took that same code
and recompiled it on the wyse50 it runs.
The problems is caused by not using an option on the compile statement
which takes into consideration, the space taking terminals and how
they handle attributes. The option I am referring to is attr-space.
Syntax: compile procedurename attr-space
Reference: Please refer to COMPILE in the Language Reference Manual
for more specifics on this option.
