  • Problems to invocate a subroutine

    From Luciano Muratore@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 16 03:35:41 2021
    Hi there,
    I am working with YottaDB 1.32.
    The code is the following (in the Yottadb):
    zedit "probes2"
    zlink "probes2"

    The errors that I get are the following:
    YDB-E-INVCMD, Invalid command keyword encountered
    YDB-E-LABELMISSING, Label referenced but not defined: block1
    YDB-I-SRCNAM, in source module /home/test/.yottadb/r1.32_x86_64/r/probe2.m

    And the file probe2.m is
    do set i=100
    write i,!
    do block1
    write i,!
    halt

    block1
    set i=i+i
    quit

    By the way, I am following the videos of Kevin C. O'Kane.
    And, I am having serious problems using the content of Kevin in YottaDB 1.32. Can someone explain me why it is that?.
    Or, is there any good resource from where I can learn to implement Mumps commands, subroutines, functions, ets?.

    Prof. O'Kane's implementation of MUMPS and YottaDB are independent implementations. As such, what is standard MUMPS (as a first approximation, anything not starting with Z) is likely to be common, and anything starting with Z is likely to be different.
    Also, system administration (installation, configuration, backups, crash recovery, etc.) will be very different. Here are some resources that might help you:

    The YottaDB Acculturation Guide (https://docs.yottadb.com/AcculturationGuide/) is a set of self-paced exercises to get you started with setting up and using YottaDB. It should help you edit routines.

    The YottaDB M Programmers Guide (https://docs.yottadb.com/ProgrammersGuide/) is a guide to M language implemented by YottaDB.

    https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/m/ may be helpful as a tutorial.

    It could just be an artifact of posting, but it doesn't appear there is a tab or space at the beginning of each line that isn't a line label (subroutine label). It should be like this, where underscore is a space, so that the spaces are obvious. Notice
    no space in front of the block1 label. Also the 'do' in front of 'set i=100' is wrong - it would be trying to branch to a label 'set' with that command

    _set i=100
    _write i,!
    _do block1
    _write i,!
    _halt
    block1_
    _set i=i+i
    _quit
