565 error - Macro mismatch with code position

[Gösta H. Lovgren-2]

When C&P's some macros from an include file to a program, I kept getting

"565 error - Macro mismatch with code position -" errors.

I've seen that a couple times before and if I just moved things around a little the 565 seemed to go away but that doesn't work here no matter where I put them. (Note the Macros run fine in other programs.)

I found this:

http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pbforums/showthread.php?t=12546&highlight=Macro+mismatch+with+code+position

Anybody have any other ideas? I looked at the "offenders" in hex but don't see any rogue characters.

I think I'd probably first look at the source code to see if there's a problem.

One thing, you may want to check to see if you're declaring the same MACRO twice. I've seen the error in that situation.

[Gösta H. Lovgren-2]

Bob,

I will do that again. Several (more actually) haven't turned up anything. It will probably be a week or before I can report back though. I've worked around the problem for now though.

John,

I don'think that's the case. Usually when that happens, both macros will show in the Function List window (JF Pro). I tried remming all the m's then unremming one at a time but the error kept occurring. I'll give it another shot though.

Thanks replies guys.

This is not a duplicate macro definition. This is not a matter of "moving things around a little".

This is a matter of misusing a particular style of macro. Like referencing a MULTI-LINE MACRO as a term in a numeric expression (That's equivalent to "x& = PRINT * y&). Or referencing a FUNCTION MACRO in a statement position (the first and only item in a line of code "HEX$(i&)").

If you just post the code for the macro, and the line of code which uses it, someone will be able to see the problem. Without showing the code, it's pretty difficult to help.

The program I tried to insert this into has no Macros, Subs or Functions of the same name(s). However, writing this it occurs to me there may be some same named variables. I don't think that should be a problem as I think the compiler would alert the same variable has been declared twice. (2 Locals, or Global & Local in same routine.)

When I said I had had the 565 before and fixed it by "moving things around a little", that was just recollection. It may well be it was not a 565 but a similar msg. I didn't write down the err msg..

Also there was no resolution in the above mentioned thread. Both posters in that thread are experienced PB'ers (far more than I) so I just figured it was "one of those things".

I tried this way and got error 415 "=" expected with the mb macro in PBMain

  RESET m$, m1$, m2$, m3$, m4$, m5$, m6$, m7$, m8$, m9$, m10$

Fooling around with this leads me to believe that for some reason it doesn't want any parameters (title$)after whatever styles used.

It's because the compiler is thinking you want to define a constant when you include it on the line like that (hence the "=" required - to assign a value), moving the line up and placing an underscore "_" after the last "$CRLF, " part and it will compile correctly.

 
Macro mb_Msgbox
m10$=" In " & FuncName$
MsgBox m$ & $CrLf & _
m1$ & $CrLf & _
m2$ & $CrLf & _
m3$ & $CrLf & _
m4$ & $CrLf & _
m5$ & $CrLf & _
m6$ & $CrLf & _
m7$ & $CrLf & _
m8$ & $CrLf & _
m9$ & $CrLf, _
%MB_OK Or %MB_SYSTEMMODAL Or mb_Style, _
m10$
Reset m$, m1$, m2$, m3$, m4$, m5$, m6$, m7$, m8$, m9$, m10$
 
End Macro

Gosta--

As I said before, the problem is not in the macro. It's in the position where you referenced it.

If you want to solve the problem, you need to post both halves of the code.

Dumb is Dumb

Bob,

This is the top of the program, up to the point where the coding starts ....

...

Hey wait a minute. Just looked closer at what I was going to post (all lines from #Compile leading up to the first Sub/Function) and ... Son of a ***** ... (pardon me but that's EXACTLY what popped into my head). The is an old program. One of the first I had written in PB (a DOS checkbook program I had used forever, data goes back to '85).

What I tried to do now insert the MsgBox Macros after I had already "Included" them in. I must inserted the Include file last year (only use the prog a few times a year for tax time) before the MB macros were written. The MB's are so handy I wanted them here but they wouldn't run here (old program, Globals, Locals, Contants, ... Confusion, Old Code, New Code, Skill Levels, increasing Complexity, ... You all know the story.)

Boy, dumb is dumb.

Mea Culpa
