Error executing basic script!

Can you share the error message in a snapshot? Or perhaps share the script if you can. If you execute it from the script editing window does it give a line reference error?

My company firewall won't let me post pics on this board apparently, so I'll explain as best I can.  When I try to execute it from the edit window nothing happens.  When I insert it as a line of code and CTRL+U it, I get the error, which is those words exactly, and the file path below that. 

I created this program containing a for loop and nothing else.  When I run it, I get the error.  However, when I remove the for loop, I don't get the error message.  Is there a different way to do it?  It seems like there's nothing to cause a problem.

Sub test2
Dim PCDApp As Object
Dim PCDPartProgram As Object
Dim PCDCommands As Object
Dim PCDCommand As Object

Set PCDApp = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")
Set PCDPartProgram = PCDApp.ActivePartProgram
Set PCDCommands = PCDPartProgram.Commands

For Each PCDCommand In PCDCommands
Next PCDCommand

End Sub

Have you tried putting an Exit For at the end of the for loop?

For Each cmd In PCDCommands

If cmd.Type = 171 Then
	
	'do something
	     
    End If
    Exit For

    Next cmd

Have you tried putting an Exit For at the end of the for loop?

For Each cmd In PCDCommands

If cmd.Type = 171 Then
	
	'do something
	     
    End If
    Exit For

    Next cmd

I think I spoke too soon, now I'm getting the error again.  I don't know what the deal is.

This works for me. It's your script pasted into my program, I just added the MsgBox for testing and the Exit For

Sub Main

Dim PCDApp As Object
Dim PCDPartProgram As Object
Dim PCDCommands As Object
Dim PCDCommand As Object

Set PCDApp = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")
Set PCDPartProgram = PCDApp.ActivePartProgram
Set PCDCommands = PCDPartProgram.Commands

For Each PCDCommand In PCDCommands
MsgBox "Text"
Exit For
Next PCDCommand

End Sub

I'll paste it in and give it a try, thanks a lot.  Side note, why is the Exit For necessary?  Doesn't that restrict it to only one iteration?

You are right, it does. I was about to correct myself here. I cannot tell why you were getting an error, BUT I have also gotten the same error as you before, and the error always went away when I deleted the For Each loop. I can't explain it. This works, but it's the same as your original program except for the MsgBox. To note I have had weird issues whenever I copy and paste into scripts as well. 

Sub Main

Dim PCDApp As Object
Dim PCDPartProgram As Object
Dim PCDCommands As Object
Dim PCDCommand As Object

Set PCDApp = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")
Set PCDPartProgram = PCDApp.ActivePartProgram
Set PCDCommands = PCDPartProgram.Commands

For Each PCDCommand In PCDCommands
MsgBox "Text"
Next PCDCommand
End Sub

Can you paste in your script "FUNCTION" from the edit window?

Sorry, I'm not following.  The word itself?

Does your function say FUNCTION/Main?

CS1        =SCRIPT/FILENAME= CREATE.BAS
            FUNCTION/Main,SHOW=YES,,
            STARTSCRIPT/

Yes it does.

So your script being "Sub test2" may be causing the issue. FUNCTION references the sub within the script. See if changing it back to Sub Main

I am guessing your error code actually had subtext and it looked something like this

"C:\USERS\PUBLIC\TEST\SCRIPTNAME.BAS:test2"
