This is a simple app. But I think it should show the issue. I don’t have 13999 installed anymore so I can’t say for sure.

Thank you, Bruce.

I have original C12 only, neither 13999, nor 14000. So, I used my own variant of CW with changes in the INC files parser among many other changes and fixes. Your demo application is generating, building and running without problems. Probably, 13999–\>14000 update is not related to my fix. Just the rolled back change is listed in Release Notes for 13999 after 4 fixes I sent to SV and my changes to the INC parser deal with split lines.

Is ClaTPLS.DLL from 13999 available?

I don’t have 13999 installed at the moment (just 14000), but if it’s useful to you I can install 13999 and find the file for you?

Thanks. I shall try to ask information from SV support first.

The rolled back change was made to solve the problem discussed in the [topic](https://clarionhub.com/t/exported-procedure-prototype-mangle-limited-to-2-source-lines-by-templates/7396).

The reason why some procedures could be missed during source files generation was found. The fix was sent to SV. Corrected code of the INC files parser allows eliminate problems with the pipe characters inside string literals and comments.
