LCD and IF statements

csprouse

I am programming the BS2 to display stuff on an LCD. Baby stuff for you all. Why do IF statements cause the programs to ask for 'labels'?
thanks.

Not sure what you mean, but your typical IF .. Then statement should go like
x var byte

If x > 3 then gosub bigger

If x = 5 then
x=3
gosub five
endif

bigger:
Debug "X is bigger"
return

five:
Debug "X is 5"
return

Normally they don't.
Can we see the code you're using that causes this problem? Use the attachment manager (below) to attach it to your post.

I didn't try using a subroutine, just your typical if, this program is just an alarm clock. Really appreciate your help.
I hope the code attached.

Try clicking the PBasic Language 2.5 button at the top of the screen (see the little "1.0 2.0 2.5" buttons?).

I just hooked up a BS2 with an LCD, added the "2.5" and ran your program - it seems to work just fine. The "IF...THEN...ELSE" structure is only found in PBasic 2.5: that's why you're getting weird results when you don't include the compiler directive.

You are right! That was a rookie mistake. Cheers!

Glad to help.

I make it a habit to use both the $STAMP and the $PBASIC directives in every program. There are other mysterious glitches waiting to pounce if you don't.
