Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I may have found a bug in the MMBASIC 3.2 editor.
If I go into the editor and try to READ an empty DATA statment it crashes the Maximite (or in my case the UBW32)

READ A
DATA

Will cause it to crash with the message - "An internal error was trapped and your program has been lost (sorry). Were you using the PEEK or POKE commands?".

Thanks, yes that is most definitely a bug.

I try very hard to make sure that nothing could crash the interpreter because that results in the user's program being lost - so this will be top of the list to be fixed in the new version.

Could a "on error goto" statement be implemented?.

and a "resume next" please.

When the MM has to work unattended maybe a restart when it crashes, or unrecoverable error, like a 'reboot'.

A flashable 'reboot on failure' to make it configurable?

Microblocks. Build with logic.
