As far as I can tell, the main problem is that you've got numbers that are too big (uBasic numeric literals are limited to 6 digits, though I'm not sure that's documented anywhere outside the code). So your 2520000 is too long. You can rewrite it as 252*10000 and it should be OK.

Unfortunately the uBasic interpreter, when scanning for a label to jump to, hits the overlarge numbers and instead of stopping at the error, it loops. My uBasic debugger does the same thing (I guess I ought to fix it!).

Genius. My script now runs, and I can debug the rest of it.

Many thanks.

I was attempting to find my old post as a reference, but it seems to now be missing.

Where has it gone?

Over the last couple of years,  and after at least one server change, and several forum software version updates,  things like attachments and a few posts have tended to get lost.   FWIW,  here's what the forum remembers you having posted :

Fair enough - I was just a little disconcerted; I thought I'd been censor'd or purged for being inactive.

Thanks for responding.

I think there was a purge of inactive members last year but it was limited to people who had joined and never posted anything.
