Type Mismatch error with DIM(struct{})
« Thread started on: May 5th, 2015, 1:53pm » |

Hi,
I cannot work out what is causing this error. I don't remember this happening before so it might be the new version because I upgraded recently (I am currently using version 5.60b).
When I use the syntax "size% = DIM(structure{})" I get a "Type mismatch" error.
What is causing this and what can I do about it?
Thanks,
onlyonemac

Please list a short, self-contained, program which demonstrates the issue. This minimal example works correctly in v6.00a:
Code: DIM structure{test}
size% = DIM(structure{})
PRINT size%

Supplied program does not work in 5.60b.

That is twice now that you've mentioned v5.60b (I assumed the first time it was a typo for v6.00a) which is an ancient, long obsolete version - released eight years ago almost to the day!
The only current, supported, versions of BB4W are v5.95a and v6.00a.
Richard.

Well I don't know how I ended up with such an old version as I always run the upgrade program after a new installation of BBC BASIC for Windows. Perhaps I should get a newer upgrade program  .

Yeah I had run the old upgrade utility. I have a newer version and now with version 5.95a it seems to be working as usual! Sorry for my stupidity but I don't normally keep track of version numbers very well.
