missing right paren
Post by Alincon on Feb 3rd, 2015, 12:49am

What is wrong with this statement? It seems to have a right paren, but LBB says not. Works in LB4

Code:
sort descTbl$(1,t)

It doesn't work in LB4, it reports Compile halted: Missing expression.

The syntax of the SORT statement is:

Code:
SORT arrayName(), start, end, [column]

Well, it does work in LB4 without a right paren.

I should have noted that LBB first told me to add the right paren.
I added it, tried again, and the error message is "missing )"

Oops. I guess I put the right paren in the wrong place.
This works in both LB4 and LBB:

Code:
sort descTbl$(),1,t

This works in LBB too; my preference is to include the right parenthesis, but it's optional:

Code:
sort descTbl$(,1,t

If you have discovered an incompatibility between LB4 and LBB in respect of the SORT statement, what is it?
