HiSoft basic 2

alphagemini · 17 March 2018, 12:59

I am writing a program with a succession of if/or statements, and the usable line length is insufficient. Is it possible to increase it? The manual says something about SYSTAB+68 but I can't get to it.

I anyone can help I would be very grateful

Thanks in advance

Can you write the code ? Maybe we can split it into multiple if statements.

for example

Code:

if A=1 and (b=2 or c=3 or d=4 or e=5)

can be split as

Code:

if A=1

if b=2

EndIf

If c=3
Endif
....

EndIf

well its not exactly same as the 1st example, but you can get the idea of how it could work.

Hi, Thanks for you reply. I made a mistake about the chain of conditions. There is one if statement followed by or/and conditions.

I have split the program into two parts to cope with the number of conditions. I want to change this in order to make the program quicker. It looks clumsy but it works perfectly
I am sure that there is some way of increasing the line buffer but the manual is opaque and never mentions input line length.

regards

AmigaBasic stored its text as a 2d array of characters 256 wide counting indentations. I think HiSoft is a spin-off of AmigaBasic isn't it? If so, you can try AceBasic on the Aminet as an alternative.

This is a coding help question so I moved it to Coders.Languages. Cheers
