SBASIC bug?
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2022 2:19 pm
Anyone know whats going on here?
SBASIC only: EXecute the following program:
Result in this case:
At line 150:4 DEFines may not be within other clauses
However there are various error conditions depending on how the program
is constructed. In the worst case it just hangs and must be RJOBed.
What seems to get the interpreter's knickers in a twist is a parameter
being referenced using the same name as the parameter, 'ch' in this case.
This is supposed to be perfectly "legal". I dont know when this behaviour
started but Ive noticed it for a while.
