expected numeric operand and column 9: M117: string too long

[tekstyle]

Not sure why I am getting this error. currently, if I echo job.filePosition and echo job.file.size. I get numerics for both. But when i try to do math, it doesn't work and i get an error stating it needs numerics. However, didn't I just provided numerics?

if {job.filePosition/job.file.size}>=0.1
	M117 "AKM print completed 10%"

also i get the Error: column 9: M117: string too long for the M117 command when it is part of a conditional command. I saw another post from github where DC42 mentioned to put M400 immediately before the M117 command. it still gives the same error.

Entering M117 "AKM print completed 10%" straight into the console works perfectly.

Does it just need some spaces to separate the elements, so the parser can identify them?

if { job.filePosition / job.file.size } >= 0.1
    M117 "AKM print completed 10%"

@tekstyle which firmware version? Standalone mode or with attached SBC?

3.3. duet2wifi. so standalone

@tekstyle I've tested that running as a macro under RRF 3.4beta7, and I don't get any error messages. So I believe whatever the issues were have been fixed. Please try that version.

EDIT: I did find an issue that doesn't give rise to any error messages. It is triggered by the M117 line being very long. Your M117 line has a lot of space characters after the trailing quotation mark, so it is triggering this issue. I will fix it in RRF 3.4.0rc1.

i updated to 3.4beta7 and as you said, the issue is no longer there. I did not realize there was a trail of space characters at the end of the quotation mark. that was a good catch and many thanks. I will try to test my macro later. I plan to put this into daemon.g
