Pete's QBASIC Site

While compiling the core, I'm getting a ' Nested function definition' error. I have no clue why.

Code is as following:

<code>SUB ctrlaltdel
...
END SUB
</code>

The declare is in a main file called LIBRARY.QH and in there everything is declared like it should.

<code>DECLARE SUB ctrlaltdel ()
</code>

Can someone help me out here?

I had never heard of "nested function definition", but found that it is valid in other languages.

Perhaps the Function or SUB immediately before the Sub in question, did not terminate correctly with an End Function or End Sub. Sometimes we forget and use Exit Sub or Exit Function instead.

Another possibility is that the Sub in question is the first Sub after the main module. I have seen recommendations that say to terminate the main modile with an END before placing your Subs and Functions. As a result, I always do this. However I have seen programs that do not use this rule.

I couldn't find this error message in my QuickBasic manual. Sorry that I don't have anything more definitive.

THx I'll check... btw does it apply to PDS as well your manual?

Moneo, you were right. I did forget an END SUB in the sub before.

Seb, great, glad you found it.

Actually my manual is for QuickBasic 4.0. I run 4.5 and use this manual because I found it more complete than the 4.5 manual. There is probably a lot of newer stuff covered by PDS which, of course, wouldn't be in this manual.

Well, I wouldn't have found it, without your help.
I don't have any manual, just some old on a TRS-80... that covers... erm... no a GW-Basic as well...
