we would need to see the code of the function or look around your code for function usage thats incorrect syntax.

First, make sure all your file directory locations are correct. THey probably are, but it's always good to check .

The reason why it says you have an error at line 971, even when you have a total of only 617 lines total, is because of loops. The DB debugger is kinda screwy in that it doesn't remember precise line numbers. Until I can see your code, your best bet is to insert a BREAK or two around where you think the problematic area is, or use DarkEdit's step-through option which inserts breaks after every line of code. Then DB will give you an accurate line number.

my program starts off as follows:


before when started the progam i got the "Program ran into a function declaration" error, now i copied most of my code to test it in another file and now it doesn't either understand the "MagicLoad("bana",700,1,700)" command.
WHAT THE SHMUCK!!!

I dont know if this helped you locate my problem, but please help, I've been working with it for quite some time and I really need it to work!

I've been spending my day trying to figure out whats wrong with my shi**y program whith no luck, i have noticed that when i change the order of my #include files the problem changes from: "Program ran into a function declaration at line 971" to something that makes my program end like with a common end. Does this help? if not, I guess i'll have to post my whole code, though id rather not cuz' my programming skills aren't that good.

If your code works fine except for the error "Program ran into a function declaration at line 971", be sure to put an END command at the end of your loop and everthing else in that area. DBC doesn't like it when it's running through a program and it sees a function declaration, kind of confuses it so it just says ERROR!

If none of this has helped you, I might know what is wrong.
I made mine like this:

Mainfile.dba:
Sync on
Sync rate 60
bla bla bla
FUNCTION thisfunction(1)
commands bla bla bla
ENDFUNCTION

THE ABOVE WILL NOT WORK, DB will tell you that it ran in to a function declaretion. try it this way (every function in its own file) like this:

Thanks for the help, but i managed to get rid of the problem by taking an older version of my program and reinserted the code again and it worked, but i'll remember this if it occurs again.

The reason it says you've got 917 when you've got 617 or whatever, it's because when Compile-ing or Run-ning it automatically squashes the #INCLUDE'd files into the top of your program *IN THE ORDER YOU PUT THE INCLUDEs IN*
