SUMMARY
When developing large programs in QuickBasic that require multiple modules, do not LINK with the /PACKCODE option. This can stop the program with the following run-time error on a RESUME NEXT statement (when ON ERROR GOTO is used):
Linking with /PACKCODE may not produce any run-time errors in a single-module program.
This information applies to Microsoft QuickBasic Versions 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50, and the Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
MORE INFORMATION
For more information about the /PACKCODE switch, please see the section on "Linking object files with LINK" in the "Microsoft CodeView and Utilities" manual provided with the Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b (or with the Microsoft Macro Assembler Versions 5.x).
The following is a code example:
'<====== Main Module ======> DECLARE SUB testsub () CALL testsub END '<====== SUB Module, Separately compiled ======> ErrTrap: PRINT " Error : ", ERR, " trapped in SUB module" PRINT RESUME NEXT END SUB testsub STATIC ON ERROR GOTO ErrTrap ERROR 61 PRINT "Returned from error routine" END SUB
