one$ AS STRING compiles but when running the program causes a 'memory could not be written'.

Is AS STRING valid (or cant strings be pre-defined yet) ?

doesn't the $ make the "as string" redundant?

i have found when defining types:

TYPE mytype
one as string
END TYPE

is valid

The $ does make it redundent - however, the same message occurs without one...

I must admit I cant get the same problem to happen again at the moment - I'll have to try it again at home - so I'll put it down to my DLL overwriting memory.

However, in the following :

one AS BYTE

one=1
while one>0
print "This will be ignored"
endwhile

the print statement will never be printed

you are not telling the while statement to start printing
its just set at 0 and you are not defing what to do when to stop either
one=1
while one<>-1
Print "Did It Work"
endwhile

try that and see if it works

i wonder if by setting your byte to 1
if DB thinks that this is a negative number.
Most binary math assumes the first bit is a sign bit.
try setting your byte to 0001, or am i missing something here.....

maybe in your campare statement you must compare 2 bytes,
not a byte and an Integer. Seems like they should be compatible though doesn't it.

No, that doesn't work either - it appears that the comparison statements can only compare 2+ bytes.
