ERROR: Too many rules

Got this error on a screen. Is it too many lines or functions or calls to custom formula or??

2

It’s a carry-over from when the screener limited the number of rules to 100, regardless of whether they were enabled/comment/blank rules. The incorrect check will be removed shortly.

Thanks, the screen runs. The error occurs when Totals are requested.

4

Is there a limit on the number of rules or lines in a simulated portfolio?

I’m getting this error again:
ERROR: Screens with more than 100 enabled rules may not be run. Disable 1 rules and try again.

This occurs at run time.

Is there, or is there not, a limit on the number of rules enabled in screener?

6

The limit is as the error suggests.

Thank you. Obviously I’m continually pushing P123 to its limits…

A few interface issues I run into, since we’re on the subject of max size…

In screener, when the screens get large and the number of result columns exceeds screen width it would be nice if the clear results and get results buttons were static, or moved to the left side of the interface.

Also, when adding a rule it drops the empty row to the bottom of the screen. If the screen has 50 or so rows its a pain to scroll to the bottom then drag the new row up to the desired insertion point. Perhaps the functionality of inserting the new row at the cursor position could be added.

Finally, the ability to drag multiple rows at a time would be excellent.

In the case of custom formula, a nice addition would be the ability to expand the formula entry box so all characters are visible. Its pretty common functionality these days.

I’d drop these into feature requests but since its interface related its more of a wishlist.
