Can't regenerate, can't open

In 6.5, I have a global function in which a line is causing an error when 
the app is compiled.  When I try to open the function, I'm told "Open of 
Function f_disable_mainfmenu failed.  It has been migrated to current 
version format, but must also be successfully regenerated".  But when I 
try to regenerate it, the error pops up again and it won't let me 
regenerate.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

hi,

try to export and reimport the function ( check the code also)

hope it will help you

This is one of the pains that will hopefully be eliminated in PB8 (where we're
told we will be able to edit source code directly in the IDE without
exporting/importing). Export the source, make the changes in the .SRF and import
the changes. (I usually take a couple of iterations of this to get rid of all
the compile errors, but I'm sure you'll do it the first round. <g> Just in case,
it's OK to leave the export file open in the text painter when importing. Just
save, switch to Library painter and import. PowerBuilder doesn't hold a file
lock on files open with text painter.)

Good luck,

Export the function. Comment out all the lines except the return. Import 
it. Now it will regenerate. Uncomment and happy hunting!

Yep, that worked -- and on the first round.  Thanks, everybody.
