Title: Delphi language macro
Post by: Luigi2021 on January 10, 2022, 02:05:32 am

Hi,

I'm trying to import source code from a Delphi project into EA and during the import I get a message that says:
There was an error parsing <some file>. Unexpected symbol: <
You may need to define a language macro.

The line in the source code that gives the error looks like this:

Code: [Select]

FSearchQueryFieldId: kbmMWNullable<integer>;
I understand that I have to write a language macro for this "exotic" line of code, but I have no clue where to start? Any advice that points me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Luigi

Really not sure about that (since I'm only an old-time Pascal user) but that looks like some kind of generics. I know that macro message from C-stuff imports where you eventually have to define prepcocessor macros (when you are at that you lost anyways). But here I would noth think that any kind of macro is meant. My guess would just be: you can't import that. Maybe you wait a few days for some Sparx supporter to reply here and then eventually mail Sparx support directly.
