I'm getting tired and making basic mistakes with code. I have defined variables and want to put something into them at the start. Here is what I am doing but when it reaches the lines with the:

Something = "blah"

I get syntax errors. What am I doing wrong?

I'm not that new but it has been a while.

Code:

DebugMSG var Word
Version var WORD

'Set Variables

Version = '1.01a'
DebugMSG = 'Working Correctly'

Sorry, don't program in that language, but you could try something like:

Code:

DebugMSG var string*6
Version var string*20

'Set Variables

Version = "1.01a"
DebugMSG = "Working Correctly"

To start with it seems that you have defined your variables as numerical and not as strings.

Try Version$ and DebugMSG$

to save on memory I would define them as constants

I don't often use Picbasic myself as I prefer MicroBasic However both are similar.
