The Parameter type mismatch happens when you specify an argument of
a wrong type. I don't see the entire line (which would have been useful),
but the problem seems to come from your function EITHER. The Parameter type
mismatch happens right after the variable (or constant) FALSE all the time.
So I would say that the type of FALSE is wrong... Probably it's an INTEGER
type and your program intended to get a SINGLE or something else. Check def
DECLARER FUNCTION EITHER and the type of FALSE.
How to correct that? You can change either type, or use one the the
conversion functions, ie. CINT, CLNG, CSNG or CDBL. Just ask if you need
more information about these functions.
And the worst is that you run out of memory!!! That means your
symbol table is full! To correct that, use the /S option (that will write
the string constants in the .OBJ file instead of in the symbol table...).
The other way to correct that, is to split your program into many modules.
You put the subroutines/functions in a or many different .BAS files. you
compile all your .BAS files into multiple .OBJ files and then, with the
linker, you link all the .OBJ files into a single .EXE file. Your program
will be much easier to read, and debug!
