Log Data - Error 10 & 86.

[David McFarlane]

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
take any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they 
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours -- this is pretty 
much their substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of 
it.  3) In addition, PST takes questions at their Facebook page 
(http://www.facebook.com/pages/Psychology-Software-Tools-Inc/241802160683 
), and offers several instructional videos there and on their YouTube 
channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/PSTNET ) (no Twitter feed yet, 
though).  4) If you do get an answer from PST staff, please extend 
the courtesy of posting their reply back here for the sake of others.

That said, here is my take...

First, are you sure that you are disabling LogData on only the InLine 
object, and not for the entire Procedure that contains the InLine?  I 
just checked, and even the latest release of EP (2.0.10.182) shows no 
way to disable LogData for an InLine.

In that case, I suspect that you have actually disabled LogData for 
the entire Procedure.  As you have discovered, disabliing LogData for 
a Procedure requires a great deal of finesse, and should be done only 
by the most advanced users under unusual circumstances.  And AFAIK 
LogData is not documented anywhere.

So, just leave LogData enabled.  Yes, all the c.SetAttrib commands 
will leave extra junk in your .edat file, we have all just had to 
live with that.  Although, according to 
http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=3618 , the latest 
release of EP2 now includes a way to disable logging of specified 
Context attributes.
