Extra Comma Listed in Description of Alert Toolbox Routine (61333)






This article was previously published under Q61333

SUMMARY

The description of the Alert Toolbox Library routine on Page 475 of the "Microsoft QuickBASIC for Apple Macintosh: Language Reference" manual incorrectly lists an additional required comma after the item% parameter.

This information applies to Microsoft QuickBASIC version 1.00 for the Apple Macintosh.

The incorrect Alert description from Page 475 is as follows:
   Alert ref%,type%,id%,item%,[[,A0$]][[,A1$]][[,A2$]][[,A3$]]
				
The corrected Alert description is as follows:
   Alert ref%,type%,id%,item%[[,A0$]][[,A1$]][[,A2$]][[,A3$]]
				
Please note that the optional comma before A0$ is still required when the A0$ parameter is used. Only the comma immediately following the item% is incorrect. The original syntax description incorrectly requires two commas between item% and A0$ when only one comma is actually necessary.
