Hi,
While trying to compile an old .IBA source file (not .IWB) I came across this line:
FOR ii = rmax TO 0 #-1
Of course, IWB didn't like the hash, but taking it out causes the program not to work correctly
What is the meaning of the hash (de-referencing?), and how do I get round it?
Brian
I have never seen that before.
The proper syntax would be
FOR ii = rmax TO 0 STEP -1
Hi,
The #number was an old form of STEP and could be used interchangeably ;D
FOR counter = 1 TO 20 #2
or alternatively, FOR counter = 1 TO 20 STEP 2
Even the user guide got a little confused, referring to SKIP rather than STEP.

Thanks to Larry and Graham for clearing that one up - I eventually settled for STEP myself,
although I have never seen the hash used like that before
