Compiling QB Programs
Posted: Fri Jun 21, 2002 2:37 am
I use a QB4.5 program to run a device plugged into my parallel port that captures infrared signal data in real time. It stores 200 sets of data in three arrays (each set consists of three numeric values) then manipulates and displays the data. Works great as an interpreted program, but whenever I try to compile I get the dreaded "Expression too complex" error. I've tried QB7.1 and every trick I can think of. For example, I tried PUTing the data in a file as it is received, rather than storing it in arrays, and GETing one record at a time for the display. The compiler still complained that my DO loops were "too complex", so I eliminated them. Then it complained that my SUB routine was "to complex", so I eliminated that. Then it complained that a FUNCTION was "too complex", so I eliminated that. After all those changes, it just said "too complex" without pointing to anything specific. What has a guy got to do to compile a QB program?
