No Space Needed in "/O MY.SRC" in HELPMAKE, Programmer's Guide (60220)






This article was previously published under Q60220

SUMMARY

Page 673 in the "Microsoft Basic 7.0: Programmer's Guide" (for versions 7.00 and 7.10) incorrectly shows a space between "/O" and "MY.SRC" in the following example for decoding a Help database:
   HELPMAKE /V /D /O MY.SRC MY.HLP > MY.LOG
				
Using this syntax gives the error ":fatal error H1100: cannot open file." The correct syntax is as follows:
   HELPMAKE /V /D /OMY.SRC MY.HLP > MY.LOG
				
The sample syntax given on the bottom of Page 672 shows the "/O" option as it should be used.

This information applies to Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) Versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
