Bug in PB screen output ?

[Frank Kestens]

I wrote a program in PowerBasic and used it for quite long .
Suddenly , without making major adaptions to the code i found a strange result :
Code : Graphic print i ( where i is an integer ) the output on the screen gets something as 922.455461
Changing the code to Graphic print INT(i) gave the same result .
As i is a kind of counter the output is running well for some time , suddenly going "crazy" .
Has anybody an idea what's happening here ?

Certainly, the most likely scenario is that you have a bug in your code. Try using the stepping debugger to isolate it.

Integer printing

There must be a bug but I don't understand :
Simtel2 is an integer .
......
GRAPHIC SET POS (0,200 ):GRAPHIC PRINT "number iterations:";INT(simtel2)
......

Gives a non integer output on the screen.
Curiously other outputted data which are function of simtel2 work correct ...

[Bob Zale]

That's why you want to use a debugger to follow the logic.

Are you sure the new "INT(simtel2)" completely covered up what was there before?

yes .
I did some debug with Trace-on and animation ...
Where in the Trace-on the value goes like 1,2,3....aso ... as it is expected ..in the Graphic print it is 922 point etcetera ...
weird .
Seems as if i overlook something ...

Show failing code. Use code tags. Should be compilable.

Include compiler version number.

Print bug

You suggest I provide the code ? ( it's quite long ) .
Is it possible that I have a bad memory section ? If yes how can I detect ?
I use the Windows 8.03 compiler .

Without the code shown we can only guess at what is wrong. As in, is the value of 'simtel2' outside the range for integers?
What is wrong may not be where the error is occurring so it would be best to see all the code.
