Environment variables expansion failed

When I started my program in AppStudio get this message:

08:46:32: Environment variables expansion failed: missing ‘)’ at position 5 in ‘l2$(’.
08:46:32: Environment variables expansion failed: missing ‘)’ at position 9 in ‘mid(l3$(’.
08:46:32: Environment variables expansion failed: missing ‘)’ at position 9 in ‘mid(l2$(’.

Program is running normally, what to do to find this error?

Can you send a screen shot, so we can know the context?

This message is popup when I started AppStudio.
The program thats is showing up is working as it should!

This message is also popup on every program I stop and start again!

  1. Is there anything in the log? You can see it in the About screen.

  2. What date format does your system use?

  3. If you click on the Details icon, does it show more information?

  4. Are you on Mac OS?

Thank you.

In System Preferences, what are your settings for Language & Region?

In that same screen, go to Advanced. What is showing in General and Dates?

I remember that when I started again with this latest version I had not this problem. I have tried some examples, but without this message.
Lastweek when I worked on the Satellite program at once I get this messages out of the blue

What is on your Datums screen?

What are you meaning with this question?

You show the “Algemeen” tab. What is under the “Datums” tab?

Thank you - we will look into this.

Other than the error, is everything working OK?

Yes all works fine tested my program output agains my python part, exact the same answers

Let’s remove the registry entry:

On a Mac, you need to delete

~/Library/Preferences/App Studio Preferences

You will need to enter your serial number on restart.
