Title: error "too many nests Mach4"
Post by: birdbrain on July 26, 2008, 06:28:13 AM

Can anyone explain the error popup that says "too many nests Mach4"???
I am using Mach3.
Is there a limit to the nesting levels in a program?
What is this limit?
Does this limit apply to parameters or to subprograms (or to both)?
I am nesting maybe 4 deep with common calculations as parameters.
My sub programs are also nested up to 4 deep.
Nesting common blocks of code reduces input errors and makes the program much shorter.

I think the nest depth is 3.

Thanks Graham.
Would that refer to subprogram levels or to parameters??

Both Art and Brian have always said that there is no guarantee that parameters are safe.

I have used subs up to 3 deep with no problem, parameters seem to get corrupted after 2 deep totally at random.
