I am having trouble converting my definition file into a run time
file. When I run abdef I get the following message: ERROR - line #42 - unexpected data past end of line. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong. I have checked my defenition file and cannot find anything. I counted down to line #42 in the file and nothing seems to be different with it compared to other lines. Is there something that I am missing that I should be looking for? Any help will be appreciated. -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> eLerts It's Easy. It's Fun.

Every now and then, some text editors will insert a character that is
non-printing and is rendered invisible. I have run into this once or twice a year for almost 20 years, and I have yet to figure out how or why this happens. :-) I realize it's due to my flailing fingers hitting the wrong key somewhere, but I can't figure out which one. Once inserted, the invisible character causes the C compiler to barf on the file. But the problem can't be edited out because the problem-causing character can't be seen. :-( The only solution I've found has been to delete the offending line and re-enter it. Sometimes, the problem is actually on the preceeding or following line, so I end up needing to delete and replace an extra line above or below the line that was identified by the compiler. I recommend trying this approach with the definition file you're editing. I'd be willing to guess it's the same stupid problem. :-) It's quite prophetic that the offending line is line #42, eh??? :-> Hope this helps, Rob At 12:20 AM 10/24/00 +0000, you wrote: >I am having trouble converting my definition file into a run time >file.
