Resume with FreeDOS

[Michael Torrie]

There still could be some issue with FreeDOS, though. The simple test I described only tested one aspect. Your program could be doing other things that cause FreeDOS to have problems, unrelated to the error catching and resume statement. I recommend you try running your program under MS-DOS and see if you can track down what trigger the crash and how.

Thanks Mike,

You are right. I tried on error resume with next and a label/line number and it worked fine.

Im not sure what caused me to think that it was not working in FreeDos.

I just tried a simple test program and it seemed to work ok.

I simply did a file open on a non-existant file. The resume worked just fine and I caught the error on the next line.

Has anyone used FreeDOS with the On Error Resume?

My programs work fine with FreeDOS. However if I have to use the Resume for
error handling, then FreeDOS crashes. I tried different versions of their
command com and Kernal, but all do not like the Resume. Some freeze for a
few seconds then take you back to the command com, while others give an eroor at:code.

Help is very much appreciated.
