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.

Does anyone know if MM basic supports nested For Next Loops, I have tried to use one and keep getting error message 'for without next'.
Also have written a program using Labels instead of line nos. and when using GOSUB get an error message 'cant find label'.

Hi Paul.

Yes, MMBasic does support nested For Next. Please post a sample of your code that is getting the error and we can check for syntax issues.

As regards the Labels with MMBasic 3.0 - it should work but I know there are some minor bugs in the initial release and Geoff will be releasing 3.0A in the near future to resolve those issues. I am not certain if your problem is one of the bugs - best to go to Geoff's web site and check out the "known bugs" section.

Make sure you identify which NEXT relates to which FOR and that they don't overlap; e.g.:

Good ===>

FOR i = 1 to 10
FOR j = 1 to 10
? i * j
NEXT j
NEXT i

Bad ==>

FOR i = 1 to 10
FOR j = 1 to 10
? i * j
NEXT
NEXT

Worse! ==>

FOR i = 1 to 10
FOR j = 1 to 10
? i * j
NEXT i
NEXT j

Cheers....
