having a go at converting arev3.12 to arev64.
I have come across this in a symbolic that works in arev3.12 but gives error in OI.
@ans = 1)
1)
(({ITEM_EXT_PRICE} — {ITEM_GST}) — {ITEM_TOTAL_COST}) / ({ITEM_EXT_PRICE}—{ITEM_GST})) * reuse(10000)) "MD0"
the error is with "reuse":
not declared as a function etc etc
Cant find any $reuse in arev object.
Assuming as it is not declared that it is an op code?
Any hints, or maybe code to simulate and I will declare it..
it creates list of @vm repeating values equal to the largest current list - I assume - well thats what I would expect to achieve.

<QUOTE>Barry,
From what I can see the "reuse" opcode was never ported OpenEngine and the Basic+ compiler (it got "reused" for assigned() actually) way back in the early 90s, so it's never been in the product at all.

Assuming all variables had the same number of MVs in the above example you could use
<code>
@ans = (((({ITEM_EXT_PRICE} — {ITEM_GST}) — {ITEM_TOTAL_COST}) / ({ITEM_EXT_PRICE}—{ITEM_GST})) * str(10000 : @Vm, dCount({ITEM_EXT_PRICE}, @Vm))) "MD0"
</code>
Then take the last value off of @Ans - the trailing value mark created by the Str statement adds a null value onto the end,

Reuse takes the last value of the provided array and duplicates it as many times as required for the calculation. Pseudo code would be
<code>
loop
whilst valuesToProcess
Get nextReuseValue
if nextReuseValue = "" then nextReuseValue = lastReuseValue
perform operation
repeat
</code>

Thanks Andrew, that would work - @ans[-1,1]=''
