in my game I use several functions. the program compiles fine, but when I run the program I keep getting runtime errors for all of my functions...something like: runtime error...on line 99 ran into function declaration. I comment out that function and it does the same thing for every function. I commented out the function command and turned it into a subroutine and the program ran fine. I am pretty sure I have the code right. Sorry...don't have it with me right now. maybe tommorrow I can post it. Can anyone give me ideas as to what might be wrong?? what does that error mean? thanks in advance for your help.

are you ending your functions with EndFunction command?

Are your functions (not the function call, but the actual code for the functions) some how inside of your main loop? That would be bad.

i'm not sure what the problem is...I moved the function to the bottom of everything else and that function worked, but the others didn't, so I tried to move them around, but after moving a few more aroun I got the same error for the first one I had moved...basically...I was back to square on. So I tried something else. I tried writing a small separate program just to test a function and I still had the same runtime error...at line so and so...program ran into function declaration. Here it is...see what you think. Please help me.

While in DBpro functions are ignored in the program flow, DBClassic gives an error. So since you seem to work with DBClassic, just insert the command "end".

input word$
print
printword(word$)
end

function printword(x$)
print x$
endfunction

DBC has a bug with that. I would get that error on a perfectly working program. The only way I could fix it was to cut all the text from that file, run it empty, then paste the code back in. Cleared out the bug, and the program ran fine afterwards with no changes to the code.
