Paul,
Jeff is using the original Maximite and it's MMBasic doesn't know about integers. Floating point and strings only.

Hi Paul and Jim
thanks for yr help really appreciated
I thought it was a simple question.I didn't think about using an array.
My solution as foll.
Thanks for the education on % etc Paul.
Jim You probably know off hand why my version of MM does not recognise the "LOCAL" command. Do I need to go to ver 4.5C ?
regards Jeff

'THIS WORKS
dim var$(3),AL(10)
al(2)=1'test value
al(3)=1'test value
data "A","B","C"
for loop= 1 to 3
read var$(loop)
next loop
for loop= 1 to 3
if al(loop)=1 then print var$(loop)
next loop

LOCAL was around before V4.5 so it should work for you.

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve but this is what I came up with as a solution to my interpretation of your original brief

Quote ' set up the message bank as a global array during program initialisation
DIM messages$(10)
messages$(1) = "Battery"
messages$(2) = "AC fail"
messages$(3) = "Over Temperature"
messages$(4) = "Too cold"
messages$(5) = "Lost contacct"
messages$(6) = "Contact restored"
messages$(7) = "Spare"
messages$(8) = "Spare"
messages$(9) = "Spare"
messages$(10) = "No Idea at all!!!"
'
'do stuff

FOR n = 1 TO 10
' simple message printing
PRINT messages$(n)
' or
errorMessage$= messages$(n)
PRINT errorMessage$
NEXT n
END

No subroutine needed.
