RV> Here is the sequence I use as food for thought/discussion:
RV> Declare CONSTANTs
RV> Declare FUNCTIONs
RV> Declare SUBs
RV> 'REMs Program description and comments.
RV> DEFINT, DEFSNG. etc. if used.
RV> TYPE statements for files.
RV> DIM statements for files.
RV> OPEN files.
RV> COMMONs
RV> SHAREDs
RV> DIMS
RV> Declare variables.
RV> start code.
Here's mine:
Global
TYPE's
COMMON SHARED's
DECLARE FUNCTION's
DECLARE SUB's
CONST's
Local
TYPE's
Block COMMON SHARED's
DECLARE FUNCTION's
DECLARE SUB's
CONST's
Code
ON ERROR GOTO ErrorTrap
Global and Local Shared DIM's
GOSUB Init
GOSUB Main
GOSUB Finish
CHAIN PreviousProgram$
You can't put DIM's in front of COMMON SHARED's.
