Still does not work. Used copy function, saw program filename in display and catalog, alpha register blank or with filename per top label. Still ger NAME ERR.

Re: Getting NAME ERR when I save program raw files
Great, looks like problem solved for you!
Thanks for checking and confirming.

Re: Getting NAME ERR when I save program raw files
Thanks for continuing to test this...
What module and what program filename, we can't duplicate it without the specifics.
As you have not mentioned 'normal' (non-module sourced) programs continuing to have trouble, does that mean those are working properly?

Re: Getting NAME ERR when I save program raw files
It is program POLY in module MATH. Yes, all the programs that I have written work properly now. I can save them whether the alpha resister is blank or contains the global (focal) label name.rprosperi wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 8:22 pmThanks for continuing to test this...

Re: Getting NAME ERR when I save program raw files
Thanks for confirming 'normal' programs all work.
I can copy and save POLY from the MATH PAC without issues as follows:
Starting with MATH PAC installed, "POLY" NOT in user program area, and no poly.raw file in /PROG folder:
1. [xeq] [alpha] COPY [alpha]
2. [alpha] POLY [alpha] copies "POLY" program from MATH Pac
3. [shift] [CATALOG] [1] to see program catalog and confirm program is indeed in user RAM
4. [alpha] POLY [alpha] to put program I want to save to .raw into Alpha (note "POLY" is still in alpha from steps 2-3; you can retain that as-is and type nothing, or re-enter it exactly the same)
5. [cst] [4] to invoke Save RAW File
6. [Enter] to choose to save a New FIle
7. [p] [o] [l] [y] to spell out the target filename
8. [r/s] to complete entry and confirm the filename I just entered
==> No error message and when I connect to PC, I can see the file poly.raw in the /PROG folder

Re: Getting NAME ERR when I save program raw files
That worked. I skipped step 4, leaving LBL POLY in the alpha register. The saved file is not zero byte and there was no error. The only difference is that previously I did not use the CST key, but rather went through SETUP to do this. Also, last time when it didn’t work, I entered poly in step 4. So, I really don’t know why it did not work last time, but now works.rprosperi wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 9:43 pmThanks for confirming 'normal' programs all work.

FYI - There is no functional difference between [cst] [4] and [shift] [SETUP] [1] [4], it's just fewer keys using the CST menu.

Re: Getting NAME ERR when I save program raw files
I regret to report that the problem has crept up again. I had to do another reset, and load an earlier state file that didn’t contain the poly program. So, it seems that every time you save something, you need to check again to see if it still works, and then save another state file under a different name. Also, you need to frequently back everything up to a pc/mac to make sure you don’t lose anything newly saved.rprosperi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 12:15 amGreat, thanks for your patience though this, glad it seems to be resolved all around.HPMike wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 11:01 pmThat worked.

Re: Getting NAME ERR when I save program raw files
Things seem to have stabilized and I'm no longer getting weird behavior, since I re-flashed with the production firmware again. When I type [shift][CATALOG], I no longer get extra random symbols following CAT like maybe CAT'| or the like. Also, when entering alpha characters into the alpha register, I was getting lower case, i.e. AREA was entered as area. It was as if a phantom [shift] was being entered, although, I don't even know how it entered a lower case r, if it was shifted it would be a 7. Anyway, now it works properly, so AREA is entered as AREA, SPEED as SPEED, POLY as POLY etc. I repeatedly do a program save to .raw file, and lately no more NAME ERR issues. One question, I had set my clock to 12HR mode (AM/PM), but I just noticed that it had reverted to the default 24HR. How did that happen ?
