Gambas ONE

I have several gambas projects. I have not upgraded to 3.16 yet because I am afraid of breaking the project requiring 3.16 runtime. I think I saw it in here but can't find it. is there a way to force the project to use the 3.15 runtime even if I am using 3.16? I just want it to work for those that have not upgraded the runtime on their systems.

you must do 2 things......

1) ensure the program made on 3.16 has no 3.16 only code so it is compatible with 3.15 runtimes.
Ie, if you use a command new to 3.16 then your application is bound to fail on 3.15 so only use older ways.
The easiest way to do this is to load them into 3.15 IDE occasionally and test them.

2) Add the Environment variable to your projects properties..
GB_PCODE_VERSION = 3.15

that will stop 3.15 throwing a ByteCode error when running the 3.16 project

I am aware of not using 3.16 code but thanks for warning.

That was exactly what I was looking for thank you so much
