out of DATA

Post by floogle11 »

Ive been doing more with graphics and a lot of times when i use the DATA command after when i run it it says :
"Line 17:
out of DATA"
what does that mean?

Heres my code:

Code: Select all

CLS
SCREEN 13
    x = 100
    y = 100
    a = 0
    b = 0
    FOR a = 0 TO 1
        FOR b = 0 TO 1

            data 00,01,
            data 01,00,
            data 00,01,

            READ z
            PSET (x, y), z

        NEXT b
    NEXT a

Where is the DATA? When using nested FOR loops, you will need DATA for both loops. Simply multiply the numbers of the loops to determine how many. Your code indicates 4 READs.

I advise labeling DATA fields if DATA is used more than once. Just make a line label before the DATA and use the label with RESTORE before reading it.


RESTORE MyData

READ x, y

MyData:

DATA
DATA
DATA


I recommend placing all labeled DATA fields after the main program code.
You cannot place DATA into SUB procedures.
