"Statement Illegal in TYPE Block" Using F7 in QB.EXE Debug

Last reviewed: January 12, 1995
Article ID: Q42668

SUMMARY

The following information applies to QuickBasic Versions 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50, to the QB.EXE programs supplied with Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS and OS/2, and to the QBX.EXE environment supplied with the Basic PDS Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.

The F7 function in the QB.EXE editor/debugger causes the program to execute up to the current location of the cursor. If you attempt to execute a program using F7 while the cursor is inside a user-defined TYPE...END TYPE block, the error message "Statement illegal in TYPE block" is returned. This only happens the first time that the program is executed.

Code Example

TYPE USER

   ANYDATA AS INTEGER

END TYPE CLS
