Extraneous Error Messages Compiling REMLINE.BAS with BC /E (28022)

This article was previously published under Q28022

SYMPTOMS

Using only an /e switch, compile the program REMLINE.BAS that is distributed as a sample program with Microsoft Basic Compiler Version 6.00. You will get the following three errors:

   bc remline /e;

     RESUME
          ^ Missing Resume Next (/X)
     RESUME NEXT
          ^ Missing Resume Next (/X)
   LOOP
      ^ Subprogram Error

The LOOP referenced by the error is on line 248. It is not an error under any other combination of compilation switches, and the program compiles correctly with /X.

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 (fixlist7.00).
