I have previously used PFE32 as text editor when writing dcal programmes.
After a computer upgrade when trying to compile with dcc.exe I get a 'file handle invalid' messages.
DCC1 and DCC2 work fine.

If I use dos command window I get 'stack overflow'.

I have just downloaded Ultra edit. Again dcc1 & dcc2 work but not dcc.exe. Is there any solution, or is it a function of Windows XP?

Back in the last millenium, I remember having a similar problem. I overcame it by writing a batch file that ran DCC1 & DCC2 with separate line commands.

Thanks Joe,
I found a good editor (PSPAD from www.pspad.com/en.)
I still cant use dcc.exe; but PSpad wil handle dc1, dc2 and the linker with out- put to a capture window. It remembers the dos command so it is fairly quick to recompile and test.
I should not have discarded the old MSDos manuals; so will have to do a Google on batch file programing.
Thanks

The following batch file will compile a macro called contxt under the directory DCAL and generate report files:



The following batch file will link a multiple unit macro:



The following tsext file contains the instructions for linking:
Context.lnk is a text file that contains the line "contxt+convar+ctmain;" for three DCO units

I received this message 'stack overflow' when I tried compile with DCC in Windows XP Home Edition. Support DCAL answer:

Hello Vicente:

Please refer to the updated tutorial on the DDN site. DCC.EXE is not compatible with the command prompt in Windows.

Instead…

Type,

DCC1 TESTE

Then type,

DCC2 TESTE

Finally type,

DCL TESTE;

You should be able to compile your test macro using these three separate steps.
