Viewing Basic Variable-Length String Variables in CodeView

ID: Q95363

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Standard and Professional Editions for MS-DOS, version 1.0

SUMMARY

The README.TXT incorrectly describes a CodeView command you can use to display a variable-length string. The incorrect description is:


   b$sd(&stringvar),S

which results in this error message:

CXX0026: Error: bad format string

The correct syntax requires a lowercase s:


   b$sd(&stringvar),s

For example, in the CodeView command Window at the > prompt, you can use the following command to display the variable X$.


   >?b$sd(&X),s
