Illegal Function Call?

[JasonQuinn1992]

Hey guys,

Im writing a program for my BASIC class and have suddenly gotten an "Illegal Function Call" error on one of the lines and I really dont know why

The error occurs at the "PRINT USING T1$; PageCt 'Print title line" line


' MINITEST 2

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

String T1$ needs to be defined with numerical ## digit positions in the string to reflect the numerical variable using the template.

PRINT USING "Value:###.##"; variable

[JasonQuinn1992]

After I did as you suggested im getting an error stating, "expected: tab or spc or expression or end of statement"



Also,
Then im getting a Syntax error at the

READ Nam$, Num, AmountOwed line

DATA can be placed anywhere. You can label it to RESTORE MyData to the beginning of DATA so it doesn't error.

Code: Select all

FOR i = 1 TO 6 'reads 6 lines of data
GOSUB ReadData
PRINT Nam$, Num, "$"; AmountOwed
NEXT

END

ReadData: 
READ Nam$, Num, AmountOwed 
RETURN 

MyData:
DATA ABC company, 5, 80.00 
DATA NBC Corporation, 7, 80.00 
DATA XLR company,8, 80.00 
DATA Lucent corp, 12, 60.00 
DATA Ameritech, 3, 100.00 
DATA Rambo Mart, 0, 0 
DATA END, 0,0,0 

If you want the dollar sign value change AmountOwed to a string.

What you suggested seems to be working but now I get an Syntax error at the

READ Nam$, Num, AmountOwed line
