Compiler Hints

[Helen Williamson]

When compiling a package, I get the following hints:

Hint: Parameter 'parameterName' Parameter.
e.g. Hint: Paramreter 'dob' Paramter.

What does this hint mean? The parameter is used and, in the case of the outgoing parameters, is assigned. It would be useful if an example was given as to how to fix this error.

Thanks, Helen.

If you go to Tools > Preferences > Hints, you should see a user-defined "Naming convention" here, with the description "Parameter". Apparently the parameter name "dob" does not comply with this naming convention.

The solution is to change the naming convention, disable or delete the naming convention, or change the parameter name so that it complies.

If you keep the naming convention, change the description so that it is more meaningful when a hint is displayed.
