Error Function Descriptive Text - Output Issues

AmiBroker 6.28

Hi,

When I use "&" in the text section of the Error Function I've noticed (depending on where the ampersand is located in the text section) AmiBroker either adds ";" to the message output

or with this test code;

if (Status("action") == actionBacktest OR Status("action") == actionExplore) Error("Make sure Pad & Align"); // Test

returns this ouput;

Should "&" not be used or is something wrong?

Thank-you.

@TrendSurfer you need to escape "&" character. Try this:

if (Status("action") == actionBacktest OR Status("action") == actionExplore) Error("Make sure Pad &amp; Align is checked in Automatic Analysis Settings"); // Test

Err
