SUMMARY
The SetDateTime Example on Page 520 of the "Microsoft QuickBASIC for Apple Macintosh: Language Reference" is incorrect. The DIM statement is missing a space and uses the wrong type for the array.
This information applies to Microsoft QuickBASIC Version 1.00 for the Apple Macintosh.
MORE INFORMATION
The incorrect example from Page 520 is as follows:
DIMrr$(4) SetDateTime%=&HA03A DO&=NewDateTime& Toolbox "R", SetDateTime%,rr&(0),,,(DO&)
It should be changed to read as follows:
DIM rr&(4) '*** This line is corrected SetDateTime%=&HA03A DO&=NewDateTime& Toolbox "R", SetDateTime%,rr&(0),,,(DO&)
The following is a full example of using SetDateTime:
Toolbox "I" 'Initialize toolbox and vars DIM rr&(4),OldDT&,NewDT& SetDateTime%=&HA03A GetDateTime OldDT& 'Get current info DO&=OldDT&+1000 'Move forward 1000 seconds Toolbox "R", SetDateTime%,rr&(0),,,(DO&) GetDateTime NewDT& 'Get new info DO&=NewDT&-1000 'Reset date and time Toolbox "R", SetDateTime%,rr&(0),,,(DO&) PRINT OldDT&, NewDT& 'Show difference
