Network Comment: to #5644 by SEWALL%UCONNVM.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu Well, today I was working on a program of mine, and well, I experienced an EXREMELY frustrating error. It was an error 16 on a line that was like this: 260 PRINT D$;"OPEN DATE" And, yes, d$ was defined in line 10: 10 D$=CHR$(4) Well, the file DATE exsists, the directory is proper etc, I have no idea why there is an error with line 260! Please, write back with an answer as soon as possible (E-mail preffered). BTW, could it be memory conflict? Or what! Thanks in advance, please write back soon. ==========::Mark::Leumanne::============ ======::Toronto::Ontario::===== = == = = UUCP: crash!pro-generic!markl == "Apple ][ forever." = = ARPA: crash!pro-generic!markl@nosc.mil == "Beatles forever." = = INET: markl@pro-generic.cts.com == "Networking forever." = = == = ======================================== =============================== = CD 61 72 6B : CC 65 75 6D 61 6E 6E 65 : CC 6F 76 65 73 : C1 D0 D0 CC C5 = =========================================================================

Error 16 is a Syntax Error (either Applesoft or ProDOS).

Network Comment: to #11685 by markl@pro-generic.cts.com Could it be that D$ and d$ are treated as two different variables?

No, the casing is irrelivant, I have tried both, also, I have re-written the
line, incase there are hidden control characters...TO NO AVAIL!!

You don't say whether you're under 3.3 or ProDOS, but if it's the former, defining d$ as chr$(13)+chr$(4) might work better. This uses a <cr> to force the ctrl-d on column 0, where 3.3 looks for it. > :: Paul Johnson :: > UUCP: crash!pro-generic!paulj Toronto, Ontario, Canada. > ARPA: crash!pro-generic!paulj@nosc.mil A > INET: paulj@pro-generic.cts.co --- Henry Throop Internet: throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu

I am using ProDOS v1.8, I suspect it's memory conflict.
Unfortunately, I can not cut down on my DIM statements, Instead, I would want
to INCREASE them. I will try the CHR$(13)+CHR$(4) thing. Thanks.

Leaving out the semicolon won't cause an error--having it there just makes it look nicer. What *will* get you an error 16 (syntax error, either from Applesoft or BASIC.SYSTEM), is having D$ defined as something Weird.

I can't imagine what I did to get my name attached to that thread (it's been years since I wrote anything in Applesoft). I have messages back to the beginning of the month, but I haven't found the origin of that bit of Applesoft. I don't recall commenting on the original program; there might have been something else along with it that I responded to, but ordinarily, I'd edit out other stuff (such as BAS program lines).

It was an error 16 on a line that was like this: >| >|260 PRINT D$;"OPEN DATE" > ^---------------- Notice multi-line seperator. ^------Notice the TEXT-STRING CONCATENATION The semi-colon is used in Applesoft PRINT statements to show that no spacing is printed between strings. For example, 10 PRINT "Hello";"World" Will print HelloWorld The semi-colon is optional and, unless there's some really obscure bug that I'm unaware of in Applesoft, makes no difference one way or the other if it's included or omitted in a PRINT statement. Applesoft uses the regular colon as a multi-line separator, not the semi-colon.
