4.50 Manual Has Misleading Note for Calling FUNCTION Procedure (45514)
This article was previously published under Q45514
SUMMARY
The Note on Page 46 of the "Microsoft QuickBasic: Programming in
Basic" manual for Version 4.50 is misleading. It reads as follows:
NOTE: The program example above is written for use in the QB
environment only. It cannot be compiled using the BC command
from DOS.
Technically, this note is correct because the program example leaves
out the DECLARE statement for the FUNCTION procedure (GetInput$). The
DECLARE is necessary for compilation. However, if the program is
entered in the QuickBasic environment, the DECLARE will automatically
be added when the program is Saved. This misleading comment does not
appear in the documentation for Microsoft Basic PDS Version 7.00.
