Problem with INClude

[Robert E. Carneal]

I am doing something wrong. I am trying to include one of
Powerbasic's libraries, but I am doing it wrong.

If someone would send me an example (that works please) of
including DATEUNIT in a PB (dos) program, I will be VERY
grateful.

Right now I am using
INC# "C:/pb/example/dateunit.bas"

but it says it cannot find it. The drive and path is correct, so
I must be doing something else wrong.

Thank you.

Use $INCLUDE not INC#, and while I think the compiler does accept forward slashes (/) you should probably use backslashes (\).

DATEUNIT.BAS is designed to be compiled into a PBU, which can then be $LINK'ed into the .BAS file, thus:

' Typical example of linking a PBU into an application:
$COMPILE EXE
$LINK "\PB35\EXAMPLE\DATEUNIT.PBU"
' rest of code goes here
