ERROR: E-Studio prevents generation of experiment with values other than Option Base 0 and Option CStrings On [18464]

This article applies to:

E-Prime 3.0

E-Prime 2.0

This item was introduced in E-Prime 2.0 (2.0.8.85).

Detail
When generating an experiment, E-Studio will fail with an error if any script has an Option Base 1 or Option CStrings Off script.

E-Basic relies on array values being 0 index based. In addition, Option CStrings On is required by E-Basic to permit c-style escape characters for \n new lines.

E-Studio catches attempts to change the Option Base or Option CStrings value to avoid potential issues with experiment logic.

NOTE: Collection objects in E-Basic are always 1-based and are not affected by Option Base.
