$chain statement

The $chain statement continues FlashBASIC or BASIC compilation in a different source item.

Syntax

$chain {file.ref} item-ID

Description

When file.ref is omitted, the current file is assumed.

There is no limit to the number of $chain statements, but any statements after a $chain statement is ignored.

Note: When statements are accessed with the $chain statement, the corresponding source lines are not visible from the FlashBASIC or BASIC Debugger.

Example(s)

bp myprog
003 equ bell to char(7)
004 equ am to char(254), vm to char(253), svm to char(252)
005 open "cust" to customer.file
006 $chain prog
 
bp prog
002 read item1 from customer.file,"01234" else print bell
