- similar variables: err$, Err$

[sirbop]

I keep getting the above message.

I cannot find either of these strings when I Search my code.

How do I make the message go away.


Thanks for the help.
Ted.

If you post your code we can probably help... there's something non JustBASIC/LBBASIC in it.

When I post the code do
I copy it into this conversation or is there a special place I should send it to?

Post right hewe
use code tags (square with C inside on edit toolbar)

Yes post the code in this message. Copy the code by highlighting it then come back to this message and click on the[C] tag. It will insert tags into the message. With the middle part highlighted in blue. Just press Ctrl+V to replace this with your program code.

More simply you you can correct the err$ Err$ problem by fixing the E, variables are case sensitive but just basic thinks you have made an error by having two variables. Do you want two variables or is err$ just one variable?


This is from the on error help file text.

"When an error occurs, the special variables Err and Err$ hold numeric and string values describing what sort of error happened. Some kinds of errors do not have a numeric value, in which case Err will be zero."

If you really do want err$ and Err$ as variables you can switch off the similar variable reporting in the preferences dialog.

Thanks.

But the problem has gone away.

Next time is shows up I can check this conversation
to find out how to handle it.
