Odd behavior when running a compiled .bas file

[ionheavens]

I am having odd problems after installing FreeBASIC-107.3. It has been a few years since I have compiled anything in fbc. I updated to latest version and attempted to compile and run an old program and I am getting odd behavior. After troubleshooting, I found it aborts the compiled program when I attempt to close a file, like CLOSE #1, which is open. It also will end a FOR loop, after which I have a test PRINT "xxx" command and the program just ends without doing the test print command (also feels like an abort).

At first I thought I had a privilege issue but that does not seem to be the case.

Any ideas why such odd behavior.

I am running a 64 bit Windows system but could not find a .exe install file. So I installed the 32 bit version FreeBASIC-1.07.3-win32.exe.

thx -art-

Have you tried compiling with runtime error checking turned on? The compile command line would need the "-exx" option added. That may give a bit better info on what the issue it.

Other than that, it is difficult to say what the issue might be without some code that duplicates the issue.

Thanks! That did the trick. I was blowing thru the end of an array because I had a misspelling in a variable in the DIM statement. Not sure why it worked sometimes but I was also getting corruption in other variables. That explains why! Great job! Thanks again. -art-
