Link Creation problem

This has got to end up being a schoolboy error; all I'm trying to do is copy the links from one object to another, but I am getting complaints about the arguments I am using (Object) with the '<-' link creation operator (<-)......

Object currentObject = current Object

Object newObject = next (currentObject)

Link inLink

for inLink in (currentObject) <- "*" do

{

Object sourceObject = source(inLink)

Link newLink

newLink = newObject <- sourceObject

}

I'm using DOORS 9.5.2.0.

I ran this on a module in 9.4.0.0, and did not experience any errors.

However, the script did not give me any indication that it actually performed anything.

You need to open the source module to make sure your sourceObject handle is valid. That other module needs to be open Edit (or shared with a section lock).

You need to specify the link module, unless you are confident your default linksetpairings are good. You can get the current link's LinkModule with

Module mLinkMod = module(inLink)

-Louie

My intuition tells me the "source ->LinkMod->target" construct is superior to the "target<-LinkMod<-source" construct. If you get stuck give it a try.

In my defence I did start off saying that it was probably a schoolboy error...

I stripped the script write down to the bare minimum so that I could post you the whole script that showed the error and of course it worked fine. It turned out to be a missing curly bracket!!!! SORRY!
