scale procedure won't compile

[tom kyler_dup1]

I have a script as follows that will not compile:

PROCEDURE Scale;

VAR

xfactor: REAL;

BEGIN

xfactor:=realdialog('Scale Factor = ','1');

scale(xfactor,xfactor);

END;

run(scale);

The error message given is as follows:

Line #8: scale(xfactor,xfactor);

|

{ Error: Did not expect this after end of statement - missing ;? }

When line #8 is the only line in the script, it complies successfully. Somehow, having the scale function in the body of the script causes it to not compile. Also, if I use the scale function with no arguments (i.e. Scale; ) then that will compile successfully. If I substitute any procedure in place of the scale function, the script will compile successfully. Any input???

You need to change the procedure name. The compiler is getting confused by the name being the same as the vectorscript function.

The script works if I use for e.g :

PROCEDURE scale_it;

.....

.....

RUN(scale_it);
