noob_seeking_help(syntax error)

[azure8bit]

I keep getting a syntax error line 48 on my "READ type$, size, rate, charter, revenue."I am sure it is something simple. I can't figure it out and it's driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

My code:

Code: Select all

'************Mainline*********
cls
gosub InitializeVariable
gosub printheadings
gosub ProcessDetail
gosub printtotals
end

'**************************SET UP CONSTANTS***************************
InitializeVariable:
PAGE.HEADING$ = "                    REPORT TITLE                 PAGE ##"
DETAIL.HEAD.1$ = "type          size      rate      charter    revenue"
DETAIL.type$ = "  \            \ SUBTOTAL          ###        $#####.## "
DETAIL.TOTAL$ = "   \TOTAL REVENUE FOR HOURS CHARTERED\  ###.#"
a1$ = "\            \###       ###        ###        $#####.##"
rt$ = "                  Report Total       ##,###"

RETURN

        gosub printsubtotals
    end if
loop

return

READ can only read 4 data values, not 5. The decimal point is not a data separator in your data.
You need to either remove one numerical variable or add a numerical one to each DATA line.

So why doesn't it just read the next DATA line? Because it is a STRING value for a number so it errors.
Otherwise it would eventually run out of data.

PRINT USING can use $$ instead of just $ to place the $ immediately in front of the numbers.

That solved it! Thank you
