COMMON - DualBrain/bsharp GitHub Wiki
To pass variables to a chained program.
Syntax
COMMON variables
Comments
variables are one or more variables, separated by commas, that you want to pass to the chained program.
The COMMON
statement is used in conjunction with the CHAIN statement.
COMMON
statements may appear anywhere in a program, although it is recommended that they appear at the beginning.
Any number of COMMON
statements may appear in a program, but the same variable cannot appear in more than one COMMON
statement. To pass all variables using the CHAIN statement, use the all option, and omit the COMMON
statement.
Place parentheses after the variable name to indicate array variables.
Example
COMMON A, B, C, D(), G$
CHAIN "A:PROG3"
This example chains to program PROG3.BAS
on disk drive A:, and passes the array D
along with the variables A
, B
, C
, and string G$
