You can try using the $DYNAMIC metastatement which may help.
If it is one program, the best bet is to put some of the functions and subs in separate bas files then use the load option and load these other bas files. The system will then make a mak file with the names of the bas files.
When compiling ...

You might have a look at powerbasic console compiler.

Even if not there, there is some great code there.

I should have included this in my comment above.

When I refer to 'LOAD' a program, it is different then 'Opening' a program.
You can have several bas (or other extensions) 'loaded' at the same time.

This enables you to make larger programs than are normally able to be made. This is because the ...

Just a comment. The QB45 ide and the DOS Edit are based on the same
program structure (at least originally).

If you use it quite a bit you will get to like it, especially with the ability to
'LOAD' programs and direct access to the help including ascii values that
is handy.

With QBasic Call absolute is included.

With QuickBasic 4.x,7.x you must load a library containing call absolute
and/or call interrupt/interruptx

The easiest way is to start QB with /L option. This Loads Qb.QLB when
QB is started. It gives you the ability to use Call absolute or interrupts.

7.1 or PDS is the last one I believe. Remeber it's MSDOS. MS hasn't written any MSDOS stuff, except for a few tweaks of their MSDOS versions to go along with early windows versions, in some time

There are some tips.
Keep line lengths as short as possible (under 100 characters if possible)
if your ...

What davenstein is talking about (I think), is using several bas files at once.

If you are only using gosubs (and maybe FN's) then consider using SUBs
and FUNCTIONs instead with most of them in other bas files. Here is how
it works. (simplistic example)

(main program)

It's on other sites too.

If you run it in the ide then if it truly is an if block error it should show you

Indent all your block IF's, FOR's,WHILE/DO, etc. so you can see where
the routine ends and where you are missing something.

It could possibly have to do with a line that is too long in ...
