I could probably adapt QED if I'd had the time, but interfacing with
SBASIC will be difficult as that is a self-contained environment
(you cannot call the parser from another job, unless perhaps when
it's also an SBASIC job.
Have a look at SBAS/QD, it's part of SMSQ/E and does exactly this.
Let me put this in a different way, then.
Is there such a thing as an OS call of any description which when presented
with a line of BASIC as simple ascii will check the syntax so that a program
such as Tim's can check what is being entered without necessarily inserting
the line of BASIC into a program directly? All that's required in this case
is just to check individual lines of a text file. I hope you understand what
I mean, imagine something corresponding to the very imaginary (and probably
silly) extension LET a$ = "100 PRINT *{0}*":LET valid_or_not =
SYNTAX_CHECK(a$)
(A very silly example, I know, but I hope it explains the kind of thing I
mean)
