 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. |

In case it's a specific glitch in the parser, does it work in a line more like a$=format$(...) John |

Hi Chris, What platform, what version of MMBasic and possibly a dump of OPTIONs? Doug. ... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it! |

Obviously the function FORMAT is not included in the version of MMBasic that you are using (check the user manual for that specific version). Because there is no such built in function MMBasic then went looking for a user defined function called "format" and because that was not found it generated an error message to that effect. Instead of FORMAT() use STR(). It works differently but can generate a similar result. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

Thank you Guys for your replies I have a CMM using an older version of MMBasic and what I forgot is that the MMBasic is different for my Micromite Explore64 using MMBasic Version 5.0501 Used the STR() instruction without a problem. Thanks again.  |
