Hi everyone!
I've been working on my project called RoboKIT and I'm having a problem when I call setmode(...).
I want the program to do is to finish in the same place where it was run. I mean, if I run the program from the home screen I want the program to show that screen when it finishes and if I run the program from Equation Writer I want it to show that program when it finishes.
So, to switch between these 2 applications I use:
Code: getmode("Split 1 App")->var
at the beginning of the program, and at the end I use:
Code: setmode("Split 1 App",var)
But this "trick" leads to the error "Protected Memory Violation" and almost every time this error appears the calculator crashes. The only way to restore it again is by reseting it. I've lost my files several times 
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Apparently, the problem goes away when I archive the program. I'm not completely sure.
Solved your own problem. Issue resolved.
Have you run any other ASM programs or are running any TSRs and such? These can interfere with normal operation if they have bugs or are not installed properly.

I'm using flib, but it hasn't given me any errors so far.
Normally, the only place the 89 OS allows for running a program is from the Home Screen. The only way I know of that you could be launching it from somewhere else is by the use of some kind of extension ASM program or TSR. Or do you mean that the program is launched by another program from the Home Screen which has already changed the current app to something else with setMode?
Is "var" declared Local in your TI-BASIC program ?
I'm asking because a number of TI-BASIC functions hate local variables. But IIRC, the crash condition for e.g. "Local x; DelVar x" is more "Address Error", stemming from word accesses to HeapDeref(H_NULL) = 0xFFFFFFFF, than Protected Memory Violation.

This is the flash app from which I launch my program.

My program goes to the graph screen, so I don't want the program to end showing this screen. I want it to show the home screen in the case the program has been launched from the home screen, or to show the Equation Writer in case the program has been launched from it.

Yes, it is declared as local. But, apparently, the error goes away when I archive the program. I'm not really sure.
