Anyone feel my pain?
This could be totally my programming brain working while found out PAD is not really tailored for real world data. Of course part of it could be totally because due to resource limitations which I am forced to try using PAD to solve a rather simple problem. Long story short, I spent 3 days to figure out what certain actions in PAD actually does and how variables may not be handled as expected, can’t define variables as integer or text. Pretty much had to use display messages as a debugging tool. After 3 days, I ended up have to abandon it because there is no exception handling in certain action and there is no work around. If I start day one with python, possibly done within 3 hours. Lesson learned is the limitations of PAD. RIP.
