Hello. I had a game that ran fine on DB1, but seems to fall over in DB Pro on the simplest of things. i.e.:
cli$ = right$(stack$(choice), 5) + ", accelerate to " + str$(new_speed#(choice)) + "kts. Over."
...returns an error "Parameter for right$ do not match..." Yet they do!

Changing it to:
a$ = stack$(choice)
cli$ = right$(a$, 5) + ", accelerate to " + str$(new_speed#(choice)) + "kts. Over."
...solves the problem, but why can DB1 handle the first version and DB Pro can't?

Likewise the snippet:
if (key => 49) and (key

[lessthanorequalto] 51)
spd$ = chr$(key)
cli$ = cli$ + chr$(key)
mode = 8
endif
...gives a "command out of place" error. "Rem"ing the "endif" makes this problem go away, but...surely not?!

Any suggestions greatly appreciated, I'd rather not have to start from scratch! :o) Thanks.

(Blimey, even the forum can't hold code!) ;o)))

That's strange, because your first problem doesn't create any problems this end:



And your second problem compiles OK for me as well.

Are you using the demo of DBPro or have you not yet upgraded to patch 3.1? Either case could be significant.

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.

Full version, and pep, I downloaded 3.1 to see if that fixed.

Second problem has gone - something to do with remarks:

` A remark here
if the_cows_come_home
do_something
endif

...causes the error. Changing it to:

` A remark here

if the_cows_come_home
do_something
endif

...fixes it.

Thanks for trying it anyway. I'll keep on looking to see if there's some other wierd combination I'm using that stuffs it all up.
