But at the end of it it says it posted successfully, so would it be ok to run??

I don't know it might be a dumb question but did you update your post processor and control definition in X4.

I was told not to worry about the initialized lines, which it looks like all but one of yours. I would address this issue:

Just don't ask me how.

The problem probably is caused by one of the variables being used in this formula on line # 3596 not being declared or defined properly or being of the wrong type.

 

Without the post I can't even tell you what or where.

 

I suggest contacting your reseller or at least posting the bad line so we can take a stab or two at it.

 

You could also look at the post line concentrating around the formula ( = ) and look at the variable names. Varaiables that have a $ at the end are predefined and don't need to be declared or initialized - but there are two types - strings and numeric. You could be using say a string variable where a numeric variable is required.

 

But if this worked prior to updating or I should say that you never noticed the error before, because it was there in previous version trust me, then for each variable in the formula that doesn't have a $ - search the post for this variable. Somewhere in the post the variable must have been declared or initialized with a : (ie xour : 0) for numeric variables and something like this (string1 " " or string1 or string1 := "some text " if you can't find the variables declaration then that is the cause.

 

Hope this helps!

if abs(cdelta) >= 0.0005, result = force(cabs,indx_out)

 

 

this is the problem line 3596
