ForStack
The ForStack config specification changes the size of the For/Next stack, which keeps track of each different variable incremented in a program's For/Next loops.
Comments and Examples
The For/Next stack counts loop variables by name, regardless of how many times they are used in a program. Thus, if I is used as a loop variable (FOR I = 1 TO...) once in a program, it takes up one For/Next stack variable. But if I is used twenty times as a loop variable, it still takes up just one For/Next stack variable.
Syntax
Start-up Default
FORSTACK 100 (version 4.3+)
Parameter
"Integer" is a decimal number that represents the number of variables the For/Next stack should hold. This number must be greater than 4.
Technical Considerations
- ForStack may be specified only in BRConfig.sys; it is not valid with the config command.
- An error message (error code 9004) appears when a program uses more than the allotted number of For/Next variables.
- The flow stack memory area is taken from available user memory.
- The Status Stacks command shows the current stack settings.
