This article was previously published under Q76516 SUMMARY
The following corrections apply to pages 312 and 313 of the "Microsoft
Basic 7.0: Programmer's Guide," specifically to the code examples
illustrating the use of event traps. These incorrect code examples
give an "Expected: GOSUB" error at compile time.
To correct the examples, change the four occurrences of
ON KEY (x) GOTO...
to
ON KEY (x) GOSUB...
This information applies to Microsoft Basic Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.0 and 7.1 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
MORE INFORMATION
The correct syntax for ON event statements is explained beginning on
page 225 in "Microsoft Basic 7.0: Language Reference" for versions 7.0
and 7.1.
