SUDOGEN for HP71 Message #1 Posted by Vincze on 7 Sept 2007, 10:53 a.m. Anyone have text file of Valentín's Sudogen program? I rather copy and paste that than type everything in. I thought I could copy text from PDF, but it appear that there is protection on PDF preventing this.

I have found....but... Message #2 Posted by Vincze on 7 Sept 2007, 11:59 a.m., in response to message #1 by Vincze I have found Text entry of Valentíns excellent program, but when I run, I get error that say ERR L35:Subscript. I do research in book and it appear that this is some sort of Array problem. When I type GERRM, though it say "Err:Excess Character" Line 35 have this code in it, and it look okay to me: 35 a(k div 9+1,mod(k,9)+1)=l(val(str$(num(b$[k div 2+1])-23)[i,i])) @ next k Any idea?

Message #3 Posted by Valentin Albillo on 7 Sept 2007, 1:46 p.m., in response to message #2 by Vincze Hi, Vincze: Thanks for your interest in my articles & associated programs. As for your difficulties with SUDOGEN, I suggest you check very carefully that the program listing, as produced by executing the LIST statement, does exactly agree with the listing in the article; it might be the case that some typos crept in while entering the program into the HP-71B. In particular, I suggest you begin checking these lines: 15, 80, 81, and 82 and if they check alright, then the whole listing. Also check that the program is the right size, i.e, 123 lines = 3902 bytes (with comments) or 88 lines = 3267 bytes (without comments). I test each and every program I publish by actually typing it in from a printed listing, as any reader would do, and then testing evey example provided in the article so, if properly entered, it shall run Ok. Best regards from V.

Re: I have found....but... Message #4 Posted by Vincze on 7 Sept 2007, 1:56 p.m., in response to message #3 by Valentin Albillo I will do what you say my friend, but I able to copy the text from your PDF with an open source PDF viewer, so should be correct, if the PDF is correct. Regardless, I check lines you state. With real 71B, how does one store program with card reader? I not find instructions in two manuals I get with unit, so I wonder if there is another manual I need to find this information out. **EDIT** I see that in my program, 80 - 82 were not "exact" as it look like you have some lower case and some upper case. I have all uppercase. I retype to exactly what you have, still no luck. Just curious, what does 80 - 82 do? It look like garbled text. Edited: 7 Sept 2007, 2:06 p.m.

How to enter ` in Emu71? Message #5 Posted by Vincze on 7 Sept 2007, 2:34 p.m., in response to message #4 by Vincze I think I see problem. Maybe. In line 81 & 82 in PDF it list back tick, or the ` sign. This is not valid character in Emu71, I take because it not allow me to enter. Is correct character the single tick, or ' character? Yes, that must be it, because I test before I post this and now it work, but only when I display. If I select print, It generate same error again on L35. I wonder what so special with line 35. I would think lines 117 - 123 where problem must be as that where it look like .

(Hint: COPY filename TO device, where device is CARD) HTH Raymond BTW: Only halfway OT: If you have a real HP-48, I can recommend you the fastest SuDoKu solver for that platform. My SDK48 solves the 'diabolic' puzzle in less than 6 _seconds_. A real HP-71B needs between ten and fifteen _minutes_ for this, using Valentin's program. Edited: 7 Sept 2007, 3:06 p.m.
