SYMPTOMS
If you have any Visual Basic for MS-DOS keywords as parameters in procedures or functions when converting from QuickBasic for MS-DOS, Basic Professional Development System (PDS) for MS-DOS, or any other Basic language, you may get unpredictable results.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Standard and Professional Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for MS-DOS, version 1.0 and the Microsoft Visual Basic programming system for Windows, version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
When there are Visual Basic for MS-DOS keywords in the parameter list of a function or procedure and you load this code into the VBDOS.EXE editing environment, it will not recognize the SUB functions and procedures. It instead appends the SUB code to the end of the module level code.

Do not try to run this code in VBDOS.EXE before fixing it. It may hang your system.

While in VB.EXE, you will not be able to run the code. You will be notified of a coding error.
