LINE (0,0)-(12231,12230) Causes Line Coordinates to Overflow (27406)
This article was previously published under Q27406
SYMPTOMS
A LINE graphics statement gives an Overflow Error with certain large
(but valid) values for coordinates. The first two LINE statements of
the example below work correctly; the third LINE statement gives the
overflow error.
This problem occurs both in the QB.EXE editor environment and as an
.EXE file.
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 OS/2 (buglist6.00, buglist6.00b). This
problem was corrected in Microsoft Basic Professional Development
System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and OS/2 (fixlist7.00).
The code example is as follows:
screen 2
line (0,0)-(12230, 12230)
line (0,0)-(12231, 12231)
line (0,0)-(12231, 12230)
