QB Fast Load Format Source Code Cannot Be Used in MS CodeView (28030)




This article was previously published under Q28030

SUMMARY

Microsoft CodeView is not able to read the QuickBasic source file if it is saved in Fast Load format. If you plan to use the Microsoft CodeView debugger, be sure that the source file is saved in ASCII format.

To save a file in ASCII format, use the Save As command on the File menu in the QB.EXE environment of Microsoft Basic Compiler version 6.00 or 6.00b, or in the QBX.EXE environment of Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) version 7.00 or 7.10.

To compile a Basic program for use with CodeView, follow these steps:

  1. BC filename /Zi [other switches]
  2. LINK filename /Co [other switches]
