Custom Functions on FileMaker GO

[bruceR]

It appears there are problems with certain types of custom functions on FileMaker GO.

In my brief tests, both CustomList and ApplyToList fail on FM GO.

Both these functions use $variables and a basic technique of building a large calc string to evaluate.

OK:

CustomList ( 1 ; 418 ; “[n]” )

Fails:

CustomList ( 1 ; 419 ; “[n]” )

I also tried CustomListOLD and it failed at a slightly higher number; 425.

Hello,

I saw your message, on Brian Dunning'site and I make tests.

I found that the difference in behavior for Evaluate().

it is the current limit of FileMaker GO internal Evaluate function

FileMaker GO Evaluate () is limited to 400 (+/-) instead of 1700 (+/-) for FileMaker.

I update the code in CustomList() it's ok now for FileMaker And FileMaker Go.

[and I cleaned it a little]

Carreful, as the difference between FileMakerGo End - Start = 150000 max. ( instead of 500000 if it's FileMaker )

There may be other differences. I just tested with tris Also, it now appears to work correctly on FMGo

Do not hesitate.

Thanks a lot

Just ran a quick test and yes, that seems to fix the problem!

Thanks for looking into this so quickly!
