    Has there been any thought to including the Pacal $IF command into the Piced compiler ???
    Reason.
    I have a all of Popup time out logic Modules in the main project and what to only compile the modules that go with a project; ie
    Modules
    Kitchen
    Bed1
    Entry

    Then I would have;
    $IF project = ?kitchen? begin
    Compile kitchen logic
    $ENDIF


    tks

    This has been in our system for years. Number 7007. It is a good idea if you are using one bit of code for more than one thing.

    That's a shame as I believe it standard Pascal and available in most of the compliers I use.
    What I wanted to do was - assuming the project name is available put all the logic in one project file and group it by the C-touch - as in pic - then use a selective compile.

    Guess onto Plan B

    Things like $IF and so on are really pre-processor stuff.

    Its not part of the standard language, its an extension. Different vendors do this kind of thing different ways.

    Pre-processors are cool. Just another layer of complexity to make life exciting too.
