BASIC_TYPE%
Syntax |
BASIC_TYPE% (offset) |
Location |
Turbo Toolkit |
This function looks at the entry in the SuperBASIC name table for Job 0 at the specified offset and returns its type in accordance with the following values:
0 …. no type
1 …. string
2 …. floating point
4 …. integer
If the specified offset is greater than the maximum name table entry, a bad parameter error is returned. If it is smaller than 0, an error may be generated, or junk may be returned.
NOTE
A file called TurboFix_bin can be used to allow BASIC_TYPE% to access the Minerva MultiBASIC and SMS SBASIC name tables. Some early versions of TurboFix_bin have bugs in it. Beware that not all versions of this file supports SMS SBASICs.
