Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

the line

Dim test%(5)=(1,2,3,4,5,6)

produces no error, but

Const test%(5)=(1,2,3,4,5,6)

gives Error: No closing bracket

Strange?

Jim is right. It is something that is on my ToDo list but the way that MMBasic process arrays makes it difficult
