42s REGS Variable Missing
Message #1 Posted by Kris Collins on 5 Feb 2003, 5:40 p.m.

One of my 42's has no REGS variable. It's the oldest calc of the group. The other 42's have the variable. The first 42 shows more memory as a result. What gives?

The "REGS" variable can be cleared/deleted by the CLV function.

You can do a SIZE and create it again.

You can also get a default sized REGS variable by doing a master clear, but that's slightly more drastic. :-)

Try the SIZE command and see if that works.

Do a "SIZE 25" that should bring it back. What happened was the storage registers somehow got resized to "0". Hope this helps.
