Not sure if the above message is verbatim because I'm away from my system.

Executing my program and I decide to break out. This is in MM Edit.

I want to use "chat" to run a function or a sub but I get the error shown in the subject.

Pretty sure it sometimes works OK but naturally, not when I really need it. �

Have I messed up or am I missing something?

Regards,

Craig

This gives it; can it be something related?

Oh, I should have been more specific.

SUB MySub(MyParam)

Do Something

End Sub

In "Chat", I type "MySub 5" and I get the error that MyParam is already defined.

Craig

Edit: Oh it probably is declared, not defined.

Curious. In MMBasic DOS, this works for me:

> list
mysub(5)
End
Sub mysub(x)
Print x
End Sub
> run
5
> mysub 3
3
>

But with an undeclared variable:

> mysub A
[3] Sub mysub(x)
Error: X already declared
>

Or with the wrong type:

> mysub "9"
Error: Incompatible type: "9"

I have been revisiting this and I can make it work if I ERASE the "already declared" variable in chat before calling the procedure.
