I changed the name for one of my custom functions in ms.dll and now everytime I pick up functions from that DLL it will give me the following LOG file error: Failed to get the Advanced Custom Study function address for scsf_msPosInfo() in ms.dll. Error: Windows error code 127: Cannot find a procedure. | 2017-10-19 15:48:23 * Recompile did not give any help nor clearing the chart or restarting the application. I can pick up the functions in this DLL and they are working properly. So how to get rid of this error ? |

I have read and done what the help page is saying about this situation, but it seems no help. I have removed everything as you can see form the enclosed "ChartStudies.gif" file. And after I press <Add Custom Study> button I will receive the error in log. Please see enclosed "CustomStudies.gif". Recompile, program restart or new chart does not give any help. There is only 1 chart in the chartbook with no spreadsheets or anything else. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-10-19 16:04:24

How many functions in the CPP file have a name like this: scsf_msPosInfo Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

None. The function which I added to this DLL was at first named as scsf_ms_PosInfo but some times later I changed it's name to PosInfo and then these problems started. But now I changed the name of the DLL to SCDLLName("MS2"). I did not change anything else in the source code. Then I renemaed the file ms.cpp to ms2.cpp and removed all old ms.* files including the ms.dll in /data directory. Then I compiled ms2.cpp. Now when I go and pick functions from this new DLL there is no problems anymore. So it seems in some cases (when you know how to do it:) there is a problem when renaming function names: the old name is still referenced even your charts are empty and no study collections exists.

Uh oh. I am doomed :D The problem came back... Now I went and did a test DLL (ms3.dll) which source code is enclosed (ms3.cpp). I compiled it and that awful scsf_msPosInfo function is still haunting me... please see also the enclosed picture of the situation in this new test DLL. |

Dammit. The code is using the MS2 DLL name... I'll change it to MS3 lets see what then happens... Edit: It did not help. The new changed code attached. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-10-20 07:31:24

Now I removed all the previous DLL:s, rebooted the whole machine, did a fresh new "Koe" DLL and went to new fresh chartbook with a new fresh chart (without any StudyCollections) and tried to add custom function from the "Koe" DLL to the chart. Please see the attached picture about the situation. Log file has an error about the haunting scsf_PosInfo() function. |

Could you provide us the DLL file. We have to test this and see how to resolve this. Just attach it here. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

You have a text message with this embedded in it: scsf_PosInfo(). You need to remove that. Sierra Chart is searching the file for what appears to be function names and it is picking that up.
