QB64 is meant to be compatible with QB 4.5 or lower versions. PDS (7.1) is not supported. The keywords listed below are currently not supported in QB64. However, older code that uses these keywords won't generate errors, as these are ignored by the compiler.


Keywords not supported in all versions

  • ALIAS (supported in DECLARE LIBRARY only)
  • ANY
  • BYVAL (supported in DECLARE LIBRARY only)
  • CALLS
  • CDECL
  • DATE$ (statement) (reading the current DATE$ is supported)
  • DECLARE (non-BASIC statement)
  • DEF FN, EXIT DEF, END DEF (must be reworked into actual FUNCTIONs)
  • ERDEV, ERDEV$
  • FILEATTR
  • FRE
  • IOCTL, IOCTL$
  • OPEN with devices like LPT:, CON:, KBRD:, and other devices is not supported. LPRINT and OPEN COM are supported.
