Error messages - Missing counter after Next in For statement

[allenandholmes]

Currently, if you forget to include the counter following Next in a For statement there are nine error messages displayed: 303, 301 (x2), 304 (x6). This mistake is easy to do particularly if you are switching between other third-party versions of Basic (e.g. MS Visual Basic Express) or Fortran, and MikroBasic Pro. Might I suggest a specific test/error message for this?
Regards,

Hello allenandholmes,

Please can you demonstrate this with some little example, so we can look deeper into it.

Thank you in advance for help.

Herewith further information as required:

Code: Select all

sub procedure LCD_Line_Reset()
  'it is necessary to call this routine prior to each LCD line being processed.
  dim i as byte
  '
  for i = 0 to (G_LCD_LINECHARS - 1)
    G_LCD_Line[i] = ""
  next
end sub

Gives following error messages:

(I have removed other unnecessary messages)

The 2nd last line of the above Basic code should have been "next i"
