More than 50 errors found in the syntax file

  • 1.  More than 50 errors found in the syntax file

    Yes, there are more than 50 errors, as there are about 100 CTABLES Commands. I am fine with the empty subtables – but if there are other errors, I'd rather like to see them in this list (not just in the viewer).

    Is there a way to either increase the limit or to specifically suppress these empty subtables errors in the syntax window?

    On this occasion: This syntax does actually contain CTABLES statements with "EMPTY = EXCLUDE", so that the error messages are justified. However, the error would also be issued for CTABLES statements with only "EMPTY = INCLUDE". This seems unnecessary and it makes the perception of relevant messages more difficult (apart from exhausting the 50 errors limit even earlier).

    And finally, with the best of intentions: The column header „Line" at the top of the error messages is localized as "Linie" in the German interface. Correct would be "Zeile". ("Linie" refers to a line in the geometric sense, while "Zeile" is a line of text.)

    I'm not entirely clear on what is possible here, but you can use OMS to suppress all the warnings in the Viewer while still allowing them to appear in the SE errors page.

    oms select warnings /destination viewer=no.
    tables commands
    omsend.
