worked fine. I presume the "rule" I violated was "Library file names
must not have imbedded hyphens.", but I never knew or read of that
rule.
RV=> works fine in the environment, works fine compiled, but won't work in
a library. When I went back and put the percent signs in (LOCATE x%,
y%), everything worked fine.
The thing is that hypen is a command for LIB... When you type
C>LIB INP-LIB.LIB [...]
LIB tries to remove the LIB.LIB module from the INP.LIB library!
You cannot use any -, + or * in your library names (I don't know if you
include your lib names into double quotes)... Because these signs are
commands for LIB.
For your second problem, you probably forgot to add a DEFINT a-z at
the beginning of your independent module... Probably, in your original
program, there was a DEFINT a-z at the beginning. That way, x and y would
be interpreted as x% and y%. When you extracted your sub from your program,
you didn't copy the DEFINT. So QuickBASIC used the default DEFSNG a-z and x
and y were interpreted as x! and y! instead of x% and y%. To solve this
problem, you either:
- Add a DEFINT sentence
- Use x% and y% everywhere in your sub (as you did)
- Declare x and y AS INTEGERS (SUB name(x AS INTEGER, etc...)
