FIX: x MOD 65536& Gives System Error ID=2 in Interpreter (45947)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft QuickBASIC Compiler for the Apple Macintosh 1.0
This article was previously published under Q45947 SYMPTOMS
Using the MOD operator (modulo arithmetic) with a divisor of 65,536
causes a "Division by Zero Error" and a System Bomb with system error
ID=02. Other long integer or integer divisors show no problem. This
error occurs in both the Binary and Decimal versions of QuickBasic's
environment. The problem does not appear in compiled applications.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug with the interpreter in
Microsoft QuickBasic version 1.00 for the Macintosh . This
problem is corrected in QuickBasic version 1.00b.
Code Example
PRINT 10 MOD 65536& ' Should print 10, but crashes interpreter.
Note that the QuickBasic editor is designed to automatically append an
ampersand (&) character to long-integer constants. 65,536 is equal to
64K (64 times 1024).
