QuickBASIC help.

[BobRuedy]

There is one main module & one monule for a subroutine (to get started). What does one do to make them work? Here they are:

COMMON A, C
A = 20
GOSUB "EX_2.BAS"  ' The second Module
END
 
'Second Mod.
C = A * 2
RETURN
END

This is a very simplified version.

Thanks,
Bob Ruedy

Um... I thought GoSub only worked for a line number or label within the same module. From online help (in QBasic admittedly, but it's effectively QuickBasic without the compiler)...

Branches to and returns from a subroutine.

GOSUB line1
.
.
.
RETURN [line2]

■ line1 The label or line number of the first line of the subroutine.
■ line2 The label or line number where the subroutine returns.

■ If you don't supply a label or line number for RETURN, the program
continues execution at the statement following the GOSUB (for
subroutine calls) or where an event occurred (for event handling).
See the ◄ON► keyword for information about event-handling statements.
■ SUB and CALL statements provide a better alternative to GOSUB
subroutines.

Example:

    FOR i% = 1 TO 20
        GOSUB Square
    NEXT i%
    END
 
    Square:
    PRINT i%, i% * i%
    RETURN
