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.

Good morning Peter,

Suspect this is long-standing and possibly one for Geoff, but anyway here goes:

400MHz Colour Maximite 2
MMBasic Version 5.07.00b11
Copyright 2011-2021 Geoff Graham
Copyright 2016-2021 Peter Mather

> list "error-bug.bas"
Dim s$ = "foo"
Select Case s$
 Case "foo" : Error "foo"
 Case Else : Print "bar"
End Select
End

> run "error-bug.bas"
foo

... edit the file to:

> list "error-bug.bas"
Dim s$ = "foo"
Select Case s$
 Case "foo"
   Error "foo"
 Case Else : Print "bar"
End Select
End

> run "error-bug.bas"
Error in line 4: foo


As you can see you get the "Error in line X:" prefix in the second version, but not in the first.

Best wishes,

Tom

Thanks - I'll put it in the known bugs file and given the limited use and severity and easy workround it will get fixed one day/never
