Don't go away guys, this is just the beginning of my program review
(taking my old BASIC code from my Aurora/SGC set-up and running it on
QPC2), I am certain to need your help again later.
And just to prove this point, can anyone guide me on the following:
I understand that there is no need to compile BASIC programs when using
QPC2 (SMSQ) - the SBASIC code can be EXEC'd without TURBO or QLIBERATOR.
Do I take this to mean that I just "Ex win1_program_bas" ? And
if it's as easy as that, what are the benefits and drawbacks of doing this?
Of course you can EW or EW a sbasic program instead of using LRUN but it
is not always adviseable as consequences are not the same.
Example:
ram1_trythis_bas contains the 2 following lines
10 a_variable=10
20 open#3,con_
After EX ram1_trythis_bas
if you type (command line)
print a_variable 0 will be returned
if you type (command line)
close#3 Invalid Channel ID will be returned
After LRUN ram1_trythis_bas
print a_variable will return 10
close#3 will close#3
So if you want to preserve the 'environment' LRUN should be used.
Hope this helps

P.S. My English is not as good as it should be
In the meantime, thanks a million for your suggestions.
Regards to all,
John Gilpin.
