BUG: Error Generated Using a Boolean Expression in Array Index (57378)
This article was previously published under Q57378
SYMPTOMS
The following code returns "Closing parenthesis expected" when
compiling the program. The code works within the interpreter.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft QuickBasic
Version 1.00 for the Macintosh and in Microsoft Basic Compiler
Version 1.00 for the Macintosh . We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
If you add the closing parenthesis, as the error message suggests, the
interpreter will then flag a "Syntax error" error message.
You can remove the Boolean expression, i>7, from the statement and
test this prior to assigning b$(i) a value.
The following line causes the "Closing parenthesis expected" error:
b$(i(i>7)) = ""
