Lisp in Map 3D 2017

Hi.  I am attempting to move up to Map3D 2017 (from Map 3D 2013), and take my Lisp Routines with me, however it appears that something fundamental has changed and I seem to be getting a torrent of errors appearing whenever I attempt to run the ,vast majority' of them.

 

The most Frequent error is the 'FATAL ERROR - Cannot Continue', and I get the 'Report a Problem' request as my Acad Session Crashes..  I'm sure people will suggest that I rewrite my code, (assuming it is 'badly written') but sadly there are several hundred thousand lines of it, which have worked fine for many years, and which (in my opinion anyway) are well written, and so a rewrite is not really viable.

 

What I'm finding really frustrating is that the code runs absolutely seamlessly in versions up to (and Including) Map 3D 2013, and has been used for around 8 years with no problems, so I am at a loss to identify what's causing this. ( I have reinstalled the Program twice with no effect)

 

I am aware of, and have tackled the 'command-s' vs 'command' issue within *error* functions, and seem to have eradicated that one. but if anyone is aware of any other changes made to the 2017' versions that would produce this catastrophic change in behaviour, I would be delighted to hear from them?

 

Now Back using 2013...

 

Thanks

If you use VBA you might have to rewrite your code.  VBA is no longer supported and it will cause crashes.

Also, if opening drawings is being done by your routines, avoid SDI=1 or crashes may happen.
