Unusual behaviour [Valentina with LIVECODE API, Converting BitSets to ArraySets]

[wtng]

Friends,

 

Background:  I have a simple test table called pricelist with 4 columns and
only 12 records.

In my card script, I have already set up my table reference to be the global
variable tblPricelist.

 

My problem arises as I am trying out the functions to change a bitset to
arrayset.

 

When I do this:

 

global tblPricelist -- table pricelist

   

   put VTable_SelectAllRecords (tblPricelist) into tBitSetRef

   put VArraySet_FromBitSet (tBitSetRef) into tArySetRef

 

it executes silently in the background, apparently no problem.

 

BUT, when I do this (efDisplay is a Livecode text field):

 

global tblPricelist -- table pricelist

   

   put VTable_SelectAllRecords (tblPricelist) into tBitSetRef

   put VArraySet_FromBitSet (tBitSetRef) into tArySetRef

   put "done" into field efDisplay

 

the execution HANGS!  In fact, ANY command I execute after I use the
VArraySet_FromBitSet() function causes my script to hang.

 

Am I missing something here?

 

Sincerely 

Ng Wee Tong (surname is "Ng".J)
