Title: Compiling to VLX
Post by: mr nick on February 23, 2009, 06:43:21 AM

Can somebody tell me if there are any special steps I need to take when trying to compile an odcl file into a vlx? Whenever I try it I always get a bad character read (octal): 3 error when the odcl file is being analyzed during the build.

I've never tried compiling an odcl into a vlx before so please excuse me if I've missed something fundamental.

Have you looked at the DistSample*.* files in the "OpenDCL Studio\ENU\Samples" folder? Try opening your .odcl file, then Save As and type in a file extension .odcl.lsp to save it as a .lsp file. This saves it in encoded text format instead of the defaul binary format, and should make it easier to work with, including making it possible to embed it directly into your existing .lsp files as data.
