Hi-
Perhaps someone can help me with a simple (I assume) problem I'm
having with AmigaBasic and can't get around no matter what I try.
The problem is simple: I'm trying to given a array argument to a
SUBprogram. The manual sure makes it look like it is supposed to work,
but everything I try earns me a "type mismatch" on the CALL statement.
For example:
SUB pcell (a(1), i) STATIC
print a(i)
END SUB
DIM x(10)
x(1) = 1.5
PRINT x(1)
CALL pcell(x, 1)
The PRINT works find, but I get the aforementioned "type mismatch" error
on the CALL statement. What am I doing wrong??
Much thanks
/Bernie

What am I doing wrong?? It appears that the array parameter in the call should be followed by (), as suggested by the example on page 6-3 of the Amiga Basic manual. On page 6-4 it states that an integer should not be passed to a single presision (in this case, passing 1 to i). The call should therefore look like: n = 1 CALL pcell(x(),n)

If you want to pass an array to a subprogram in AmigaBasic,
you simply use CALL Subprogram(array(),etc.) . . .
