Compiler and Running Disagree

[Vespin]

Hi all! New here, and mostly new to programming. Regarding the following code, the compiler thinks it's fine, but when I run the program it says there's a syntax error on the line that begins with "Read" (line 30). I can't seem to get it to go away. What makes it stranger is that I can use it in an entirely different program and there's no such error.

Claude.AI and ChatGPT have been useless trying to figure out how to fix this. And yes, there's a fair amount more code above and below in the BAS file, but it doesn't seem to affect this. And no, this code isn't part of a for, loop, sub, or function.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using the latest version of QB64P as of a few days ago. Windows.

Code: (Select All)

mapWidth = 26

mapHeight = 15



Dim Shared mapC(0 To mapWidth - 1, 0 To mapHeight - 1) As Integer



' First row, first column counts as "0" in coordinates

' Data map must match width and height above

For y = 0 To mapHeight - 1

    For x = 0 To mapWidth - 1

        Read mapC(x, y)

EDIT: As is typical, it seems that I figured it out after asking for help. It seems the number-comments after each DATA line are what did it.

You can add comments, just add the colon...

Code: (Select All)

Data 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1: '0

@Pete good point, I might use line labels above some lines for Restore or Documentation.

I would write the comments, in this case just numbers, before the DATA lines: One to fifteen.

For me, zero would not be a DATA line, because zero is zero, there is nothing, that's why it's called zero.
