Nickname on the fly
« on: July 20, 2015, 01:33:55 PM »
Creating a new nickname and having it auto assigned to the next available element from ladder logic is one my favorites. 8)
In previous versions this could be done for the result of a math box but not in the expression. DMD 1.4 no longer allows this even in the result. :( Please fix..

It might be the result of enhanced indirect addressing capabilities in MATH box results.  If that is the case, and if the conflict can't be resolved, the enhanced addressing is definitely the better of the two.

I retract my earlier statement that half of all politicians are crooks.  Half of all politicians are NOT crooks.  There.

It is. When the result became an expression, the code that was handling the nickname creation was bypassed. I'm 99% sure we can work around that.
