Hello John

I too have got error messages pointing to the 
wrong point in my code when my error(s) were 
hidden somewhere earlier.

In these cases I just had to start commenting 
out code, changing variable names and moving 
things around until the error messages points 
at my real error.

I suspect that this may also be the case here,
and I have therefore tried to play around with 
my code before posting to this newsgroup... But 
I haven't had any luck smoking out my(?) errors 
yet.

But I have found out that if I replace the last 
line of these four:

#declare QQi = array[3]
#declare QQi = Minv(MMi) 

#declare RRi = array[3]
#declare RRi = Mmult(MMi, Minv(MMi))

with 

#declare RRi = Mmult(MMi, QQi)

then the error messages disappear.

This may be my solution for this time, but the 
problem still bothers me, because I want to be 
able to replace macros like e.g. this one:

#macro Minv(MM)

  #local NN = array[3]
  #local PP = array[3]
  #local QQ = array[3]
  #local s = 1/Mdet(MM); 
  #local NN = Mcof(MM) 
  #local PP = Mtrans(NN)
  #local QQ = Mscale(s, PP) 

  QQ

#end

with macors like this one:

#macro Minv(MM)

  Mscale(1/Mdet(MM), Mtrans(Mcof(MM))) 

#end

Lately I have also found that it seems that 
the more I do of the substitutions like the 
one above, the more it seems likely that I 
start getting those random changing error 
messages I have described earlier.

(It seems like I can do some substitutions 
without being punished.)

And now I don't know how to proceed in my 
hunt for these errors.

Am I the only one who is getting changing 
error messages when running the code I 
enclosed in my initial posting?

Regards

Tor Olav
