Error-checking function

[SteveW]

In the MS Word report example, wordrpt.prj, a command-by-command error-checking function is used. Example:

RptChk (WordRpt_ApplicationNew (VTRUE, &appHandle));

RptChk is defined as a macro:

#define RptChk(f) if (error = (f), FAILED(error)) { ReportActiveXError (); goto Error; } else     

When I run the example project, wordrpt.prj, all is well. When I try running the exact same code from within my program, I get the error "Missing prototype" for each instance of RptChk(). I have included the macro in my program. I am using LabWindows/CVI v7.1. Any ideas?

It means that some argument inside the macro is not defined inside your project.

The most easy way to find the statement on error is to disassemble the macro on a line in error and run the projrct. For example:

error = WordRpt_ApplicationNew (VTRUE, &appHandle);

if (FAILED(error)) {

  ReportActiveXError ();

  goto Error;

}

Either FAILED or ReportActiveXError functions are not defined elsewhere in your project.

Robert,

You are correct. I was missing ReportActiveXError(). I had not previously used a macro quite like this. Thanks for the help.
