SYMPTOMS
The following program demonstrates a case where incorrect results are generated from an application compiled in Microsoft QuickBasic (d) Version 1.00 (decimal math version) for the Macintosh . The program works correctly in the interpreter but fails as a compiled application.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Version 1.00 (d). We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
The following program demonstrates the problem in a compiled application:
X# = .06666666653334# y# = -.066666666400014# z# = 3.3333333327# AA# = X# + Y# ' The result here is 1000 times too large. If the PRINT AA# ' correct or incorrect result is put into AA# ' directly, then the next error is avoided. ' The incorrect result is : ' AA# = .000000133326# ' The correct result is : ' AA# = .000000000133326# AB# = Z#/AA# ' This generates an ERROR #6 (OVERFLOW) when ' compiled unless AA# is assigned a literal PRINT AB# ' result from AA# = X# + Y# ' ( AA# = .000000000133326# ) WHILE INKEY$ = "" WEND
