(Funny) How to get SX/B to throw up on itself

John Couture

(grin)

Sometimes tracking down errors in your code is ellusive.

Take one of your long programs and put a colon after one of your IF statements and see how many statements you have to comment out before the compiler points to the actual error (grin).· It sends you all over the place! This was my offending statement:


IF x3 = $46 THEN DispTempF:

John,
I would guess the problem is that SX/B assumes that "IF x3 = $46 THEN DispTempF" is a label because it ends with a colon.
Would you mind posting the whole program (with or without the offending line).

Oh, Sorry Bean, I found the error! it's just that I found it before the compiler did (grin). It's one of those errors that you look at your program over and over and after I decimated my original program I discovered that the colon was the culprit. It was funny, that's all.

John,
I'm sure Parallax is listening and will correct this. I guess just a check for a space in a label would be sufficent.
