This article was previously published under Q42321 SUMMARY
The sample code below shows three very closely related pairs of Basic
code. Each example produces a different error, as shown.
This information applies to the QB.EXE environment supplied with
QuickBasic Versions 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50, Microsoft Basic Compiler
Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS, and the QBX.EXE environment
supplied with Microsoft Basic PDS Version 7.00 for MS-DOS.
Under QuickBasic Version 3.00, all three code segments produce the
error message "MISSING =".
The following are code examples:
' PROG #1
bd% = 6
bd% - 13 = c ' "Expected: variable= expression"
' PROG #2
bd% = 6 ' "Duplicate Definition"
bd - 13 = c
' PROG #3
x% = 6
bd - 13 = c ' "Syntax error"
