I have a CFX-9850, and I'm trying to manually put in some games, but I'm reading off of the CAT format. I'm getting A LOT of go errors but I can't find out whats wrong. I have the goto and the Lbl. Any help would be useful.

its very hard to tell without looking at the code, but the most common causes are having a quote not closed, or the lbl inside an if statement. make sure you ended all your quotes and ifs.

[Andy.Davies]

Valid Lbl and Goto: 0 -> 9, A -> Z , theta and that r thingy. also makesure the llbl actually exists, and you cant jump to a lbl in another program!

when you copy manually a prog, the most common Go Error source is the quote problem
check your locates and texts

[Andy.Davies]

i just thought of another problem, if you are calling a prog, make sure the prog you are calling has the correct name:

PRGM "GAME.MAP"

make sure you program is called GAME.MAP , if that is the name of the program you are calling (i think that makes sence)

Thanks everyone.

i remember before i got a PC-calc cable, i read the code first, then understood it ( ) , then adapted it. I personally hate lbl / goto command. They are simply not reliable
The best thing to do, for me atleast, is to make them up with sub-programs, do/lpWhile, For/to/step. Usually, you are capable of finding atleast one method to avoid usage of lbl/goto.

Besides, they smell

[Andy.Davies]

NO!

i used to use Lbl and Goto all of the time, but then i started to understand IF THEN ELSE IFEND etc, not i use them mainly, but the odd Lbl Goto is not a bad thing, somtimes they are the most efficent way of getting somthing done!

Another problem may be the fact that if you have a loop statement, such as While...WhileEnd, Do...LpWhile, and For...Next, lbl and goto must be in these statements together. The following code is an example of what WILL NOT work:

Goto A
For 1->T To 20
Lbl A
"This won't appear"
Next

The following code DOES work:

Do
Lbl A
"This will appear"
Goto A
LpWhile 1+1=2

---UPDATED---
Yo, the code above is just an example, all ya'll don't have to take it so literally andy.davies!!!
If you have any more question about BASIC Casio programming Holla Back at me via e-mail!!!

Do
Lbl A
"This will appear"
Goto A
LpWhile 1+1=2

is it just me or is that a really useles bit of code? you dont need the Do and lpwhile, because it will never come out of the goto -> lbl loop

===EDIT===

i cant see much use for the other loop either....

you could use with Isz or Dsz... kind of an odd way to make a nested loop but it would work...
