Sorry for posting a question on this board but it seemed wrong to stick it on the general talk board.

My question is, if there is a bug in DB which means that a command works fine on a line by itself, but not on a line with other commands (the command is "Loop"), does my entry count if I have to add a 21st line to make the command work? ie...

This doesn't work (says there is a nesting error)
(20th line)........undim rr#(p):undim sr(2,p):loop

This does work
(20th line)........undim rr#(p):undim sr(2,p)
(21st line)........loop

Its just that it would be a pain to take out some of my code to make room for one command that should really work, although it wouldn't be the end of the world if I did have to shorten it.

Thanks

hmm.. I'm not Rich, but I'll try to help you...
it's because there is no space around the :, so you have to replace ":" by " : "

In DBPro, loop works fine on a line with other commands,
but sync and fastsync do not.

I would also like to clear something up:

Would you consider
position object 1,camera position x(),camera position y(),camera position z()

to be one command or 4?

Although I have considered it to be 4 in my program, I just thought I'd ask.

1 command. I asked this before and Rich's definintion is that a command ends where a colon is placed, so yeah that is 1 command.

Mine is an odd problem because there only seems to be a problem in my case. There is a loop inside a loop, there is no problem with the inside loop but there is with the outer one. Odd.

Yeah that is strange....

Thanks for the answer, that really helps. Now perhaps I can add a few more interesting things before I release....

You could try replacing the do-loop, with a repeat-until something impossible, like that :
until ploc = 2 (which will never happen, if you don't use ploc)

For x=1 to 2:dec x:next x

I don't know if that would work...I don't have DBPro on this computer

Never mind, I found the problem, it didn't like having LOOP/NEXT/UNTIL/etc after UNDIM on the same line. I took away the UNDIMs since I discovered you can redim an array without undimming it.
