Here is a fragment of what I'm having problems with...
TYPE st = string[255];
mn_l = ^st;
...
if i < active^.menu then
begin
gotoxy(1,1);
insline;
WRITE(mn_l^);
active^.menu := i
end
end;
...
and I am getting an:
Error 113: Error in statment
with the cursor on the W in WRITE. I have tried commenting out both the
statments before and after the WRITE with WRITE being the error every time.
When I changed it to WRITELN, it worked fine, but the WRITE statment bombs
during compilation every time... Any ideas?
I can fix it by using other changes, but this is the most efficient in the
case and its a problem that I'd like to know about...
Oh yea, this code works fine under TP3.0

Sigh. I could get it to have errors, though, for the following reason. Assuming that you "USES" crt (for gotoxy et al), there is still a problem in trying to write out "mn_l^". After all, it is NOT a VAR, but a TYPE!!! I'm assuming that this was an error in typing. As it is written you will always get a compiler error. When I change it to being a VAR, the program compiles just fine... Hopefully someone else will post something helpful. If not, why don't you E-mail me a complete listing of the procedure as is. Maybe something will show up there. Marty Sirkin. P.S. You no longer need to define: string[255]. It's covered by the reserved type "string".

I ordered TP 4.0 ages before it was out, and received a copy right after it was shipped. And the serial number (3rd character) is an "A". And the program still works just fine (provided that you make the type a var to correct that error). It must be something else... Marty Sirkin
