PBasic Wishlist Item

As long as we're on the subject, it would be
REALLY nice if the IF statement could include
IF condition THEN GOSUB xxxxxx
Would simplify a lot of code for me. Any chance
of getting this in the *next* version of PBasic??;-)

doesn't seem to do any convincing, let me PROVE it. Copy and paste this
demo into your BASIC Stamp editor:
' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
cntr VAR Nib
Main:
DEBUG HOME, DEC2 cntr
IF (cntr.BIT0 = 1) THEN GOSUB Is_Odd
DEBUG CLREOL, CR
cntr = cntr + 1
PAUSE 500
GOTO Main
Is_Odd:
DEBUG " is odd"
RETURN

Odd Bruce,
your post came up with the > marks like it was part of the origional.
I assume this is what you posted.
IF NOT condition then branch_around
GOSUB XXXXX
Branch_around:
Is this your wish list item ?

No. it's one method to solve what you see as a deficiency. Jon claims there are
other methods too, but my HELP feature doesn't work, so I can't check it out.
I haven't used all that many features of PBASIC 2.5, but if Jon says it's there, I'm sure that it is.

Yep, it is and is what I'm using BUT
IF condition GOSUB subrout

occasional bobbles (opens under main window after it's been opened and
closed in a given session) that we continue to investigate. In the very
worst case, you could certainly create a desktop shortcut to the help
file (I do this anyway, because I sometime want to look at the file
without having the editor open). If you've download the latest Beta,
the file you want is here:
C:\Program Files\Parallax Inc\Stamp Editor v2.1 Beta 1\PBASIC.chm
NOTE: You must have MS Explorer 4.0 or later installed in order to view
this file.

Bruce
syntax explanation on the IF-THEN-ELSE page:
IF Condition THEN Statement(s) { ELSEIF Statement(s) } { ELSE
Statement(s) }
Since "GOSUB Some_Label" is a valid program statement (that is, it can
stand alone), I maintain that it IS documented.
Now, before somebody gets angry with me, the reason we didn't (perhaps)
specifically document
IF (condition) THEN GOSUB Label
is that PBASIC has about 60 valid instructions that could follow THEN in
that line of cde. Like this:
IF (randValue.BIT0 = 1) THEN oddCount = oddCount + 1
You see, it works the same way and fits within the syntax definition
provided in the help file. I hope this helps.

Last week it locked up my entire computer and I had to re=-boot as I mentioned
to you last week. I had thought that was an initial use only problem, but that seems not to be the case, Now the HELP program, when invoked from the PBASIC Editor, locks up all by itself. That alone can be cancelled (CTL-ALT-DEL --> End Task) and operation can continue.

That seems to work fine as a circumvention.

to our Engineering staff. When you do send a problem report, be sure to
include anything that may help:
* processor type and speed
* RAM
* operating system and version
* detail description of problem, and steps that can repeat it

Hi Tom,
Are you sure you have the latest help file? I can't check right now,
but I'm pretty sure that the help file is the most up to date source
of info about PBASIC.
You should also be aware--PBASIC 2.5 has a lot more features you
might like to take advantage of. For example, it used to be only
IF conditions THEN label
In PBASIC 2.5 you can now also do:
IF conditions THEN statements ELSE statements
IF conditions THEN
statements
ELSEIF
statements
ELSEIF
statements
ELSE
statements
ENDIF
IF conditions THEN GOSUB xxx
ON index GOSUB xxx,yyy,zzz
and many more. The magic happens in the complier (STAMPW.EXE v. 2.0
beta 1, which implements PBASIC 2.5). It works on all BASIC Stamps,
old and new.
I have my own little write-up on it, how the compiler translates the
new PBASIC 2.5 back to the old PBASIC. The compiler hides all the
messy details from the programmer.

BUT *not* under IF-THEN:
"IF Condition THEN Address"
Looks like I found an omission...
Do I get a *free* Stamp for this??<VBG>

All kidding aside, notice that IF-THEN works with any version of PBASIC,
while IF-THEN-ELSE only works with the BS2 family and when PBASIC 2.5 is
declared.

Yeah, is that a 37cent USA Flag stamp or the 37 cent Elvis Stamp ?

identical to):
cntr VAR Nib
Main:
DEBUG HOME, DEC2 cntr
IF (cntr.BIT0) = 1 THEN xxx
GOTO yyy
xxx:
GOSUB Is_Odd
yyy:
DEBUG CLREOL, CR
cntr = cntr + 1
PAUSE 500
GOTO Main
Is_Odd:
DEBUG " is odd"
RETURN
It works fine, but in this instance it shows how code space may not
be artfully optimized by the new editor. Thankfully, thought and
creativity are still in play in Stamp programming :-).

Even if there was, I've been working with BASIC Stamp users for over 10
years now (long before I was an employee), and helping others solve
technical problems with BASIC Stamps is fun for me. And thank you for
