Expected A Label

HI!!

I have the parallax serial 2x16 LCD displaying readings from the DS1620 Digital thermometer. Also I want it to display the next reading of the thermometer, but it gets this "Expected a label" error on a "IF seconds = 60 then seconds = 0:" Command. What does that mean and how can I fix it. I attached the code of what I am playing with to this post, hope you guys can help me.

    IF...THEN wants you to GOTO or GOSUB to a subroutine.

    IF seconds = 60 THEN GOTO clear_seconds

    ...

    clear_seconds:
    · seconds = 0
    · GOTO somewhere

    IF seconds = 60 THEN seconds = 0

    This line is valid. But you added another piece of code after the colon. A cleaner way to do what you did would be:

    IF second = 60
  seconds = 0
  minutes = minutes + 1
ENDIF
