ERROR IN QUICK BASIC??????

[Elias]

OK... I AM GETTING AN ERROR (SHOWN EVEN IN WINDOWS) BY USING THIS CODE...


TYPE STUFF
LEFT1 AS STRING * 50
LEFT2 AS STRING * 50
RIGH1 AS STRING * 50
RIGH2 AS STRING * 50
END TYPE

TYPE INFO AS STUFF

SWAP INFO.LEFT1, INFO.RIGH1
SWAP INFO.LEFT2, INFO.RIGH2

OFF COURSE THIS ONLY CAUSES AN ERROR WITH THE OTHER SOURCE... WHEN I TRY TO RUN THIS WINDOWS SHOWS A PROTECTION ERROR (OMG!!) AND SHUTS DOWN QBASIC.  BUT NO PROBLEMS OCCUR WHEN I DONT USE THE SWAP STATMENT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY??

It's the line TYPE INFO AS STUFF that seems to causing the problems. Try

DIM Info AS STUFF

I've no idea why you are getting Windows GPF's though. Your code on my machine just gives a QBasic (v1.1 on windows 2000)  error  "Expected: identifier or end-of-statement" and highlights that line.

OPS ITS A TYPO, IN THE PROGRAM I WORTE IT THAT WAY, BUT IS THE SAME THING. I WROTE

DIM SHARED INFO AS STUFF

THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME.

Elias.
Try to put the INFO.LEFT1 and INFO.RIGHT1 in to the diferant vareble like:

LTest1 = INFO.LEFT1
RTest1 = INFO.RIGHT1

and then

SWAP LTest1,RTest1      ' and put back swaped values
LTest1 = INFO.LEFT1
RTest1 = INFO.RIGHT1

do the same thing with INFO.LEFT2 and INFO.RIGHT2

See if that helps.
