QB64 Discussion / Multi-line "FOR"/"NEXT" statement?
« on: September 16, 2020, 08:17:19 pm »
Hello there QB64 community!
Happy to be here, this is my first post! So I apologize in advance if this is not the right place to post this!
I'm currently on a journey to revive lots of programs from the 80s/90s my electronics teacher wrote back in the day and recompile them in modern architectures so we can access them in modern computers.
All these programs are finished and run - or at least they did, when using other basic interpreters. I first made a Dosbox port with the BASICAMA interpreter he also provided me, and I could run them all. BASICAMA died and there is no documentation out there, but I found PC-BASIC (http://robhagemans.github.io/pcbasic/doc/2.0/) which is basically the perfect modern spiritual successor and it is almost identical. Same menus, functionalities... and memory restrictions. (and it's an interpreter, I need a compiler)
Thing is, I've been using QB64 and it has been working wonders so far - by the way, I am truly thankful for the hard work here - but there are some commands that or syntaxes that qb64 simply doesn't support. (I must say in advance that I am totally noob around types of BASIC, its evolution and which version supports which commands - but I think this info may help you guys see where I'm coming from).
Well, that's it for the introduction. In summary, I want to run and compile this code I'm pasting here but I'm getting a "NEXT without FOR" error. Here's the snippet around the error:
And I get it - they ain't in the same line. How can I make the "FOR" in 16350 talk to the "NEXT" 16460?
How should I proceed to make this code work?
Thanks a lot!

Code: QB64: [Select]
- 16382 F1=(1-FMF*FMF)*(1-FMF*FMF)+FMF*FMF/QF/QF
- 16430 Y4=-45*PA4/KPA+47 : YXD4=-90*XD4+182 : YF=-45*PAF/KPA+47:XD6=XD4/SQR(F1): Y6=-45*PA6/KPA+47 : YXD6=-90*XD6+182
And I get it - they ain't in the same line. How can I make the "FOR" in 16350 talk to the "NEXT" 16460?
