I don't know why I cant find the CLEARINPUT statement documented. Maybe it was a suggestion from the group way back when. We are working on a program that pops up error messages. I want to be sure that the users see this message. What happens a lot, is that our 'speed typers' are about 10 strokes ahead of the program. A lot of what they do is redundant and they arent always in the habit of paying attention to what is on the screen. So, I asked the programmer working on this to put a CLEARINPUT before the pop up messages. This way, the error message will have a better chance of being seen.
I have used CLEARINPUT in the past and this statement is in a handful of existing programs. The programmer said she had never heard of this and when she looked in the manual and HELP BASIC CLEARINPUT. She didn't find anything. So, now Im wondering - how did I find out about this ? I looked in an old (real printed and bound) BASIC manual and I didn't find it. I looked in the PDF BASIC manual and I didn't find it. Actually, it is in the reserved word list. I would assume this is still a valid command - it does compile. Can anyone enlighten me ? My concern is that this could be an old command that was replaced by something new ? I don't want to continue to use something that might not be supported. Anthony ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
