FIX: Can't Nest SELECT CASE After CASE ELSE in Mac QuickBasic (47059)

SYMPTOMS

The program shown below demonstrates that the error "CASE after CASE ELSE" displays at run time if a second SELECT CASE construct is nested inside another SELECT CASE after the CASE ELSE statement.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug that occurs in the interpreter in Microsoft QuickBasic version 1.00 for Macintosh . The problem does not occur in a compiled application.

This problem is corrected in QuickBasic version 1.00b.

INPUT a
SELECT CASE a
   CASE 1
      PRINT "one"
   CASE 2
      PRINT "two"
   CASE ELSE
      INPUT b
      SELECT CASE b
         CASE 1
            PRINT "sub one"
         CASE 2
            PRINT "sub two"
      END SELECT
END SELECT
