While converting some old Pan6 files to PanX, I came across an odd display phenomenon.
Here is a macro:
Local t1, t2
t2 = "Capital Income Fund"
t1 = "Symbol" +¬+ t2 +¬+ "Jul 26, 2022" +¬+ "9.35" +¬+ "9.35" +¶+
"Symbol" +¬+ t2 +¬+ "Jul 26, 2022" +¬+ "Note" +¬+ "Wind"
«Output» = t1
RTN
And here is the textDisplay object for the field “Output”.
For some reason, the textdisplayobject in PanX treats alpha text differently from numeric text - the numeric text output seems to ignore the tab between entries. The tab still is there if one uses the variable - but the tab isn’t shown in the textdisplayobject. There is also a phantom line-return that sometimes appears in the display, so that an single line of a text array will output as two lines.
PanX correctly uses the output, so this is merely a format issue. But does it suggest an underlying issue, Jim? By the way, Pan6 properly displays the above code. I have the latest update of PanX, with MacOS High Sierra.
