wp34s - Possible bug??
Message #1 Posted by John Abbott (S. Africa) on 25 Oct 2011, 8:46 a.m.

Hi folks
I am running Ver 1777 on a HP30b. Inputting any number with more than 12 digits I receive the following error:
"Too long" ie Error 10.
No strange settings from my side, so possible bug?

I've activated some warnings which were already in the code but didn't output a message so far. You can backspace or just continue to type and the message will disappear.

BTW, I've updated the power saving code again. Time to update your calculators!

This was an error that used to be raised and then got lost in one of the reworkings/bug fixes in the input handler. We didn't deem it a high priority to get back when we eventually noticed it (much later).
