This article was previously published under Q27139
SYMPTOMS
If a width greater than 255 is used in the WIDTH statement, no error
is generated within the QuickBasic editor. No error is given by either
the editor or BC.EXE if the width is specified using a variable.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in QuickBasic Versions
4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50, and in Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00
and 6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2 (buglist6.00, buglist6.00b). This
problem was corrected in Microsoft Basic Professional Development
System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2 (fixlist7.00).
