Hi folks,

I continue to find my way through DBpro just with the 10MB demo compiler, so I may ask stupid questions... but:

For a test I made a new project containing 2 files:

inctest.dba

and

myfunctions.dba

But while compiling it, it tells me:

"Parameter for TEXT do not match X,Y,String inside myfunction.dba"

so, here is the myfunction:



and here is the main loop:



Is there anything to know about the "include" function for the compiler I did not consider?

if I replace the var with a constant "string" it works

thanks,
P!

I'm an old fashioned crazy person who uses includes. I use them because unfortunately RobK never fixed the absolute file reference bug in Blue IDE.

Am I going mad here or is the string variable (my locstr$) wrong because it comprise two words? Shouldn't it be my_locstr$?

Personally I would try something like:

function myprint(word AS string)
text 10, 10, word
endfunction

I think that should work.

yeah, I was thinkin that too, and maybe stop using "function" and "print" as parts of your function/varnames.

hi,

you suppose, that a function called "printimageload()" causes the compiler to freak out?

Well... ehm... where is the logic? Besides, that you are right regarding namespace rules, that should not cause the problem... but I will try
