I noticed that many 3rd party editors do not support PB as one of their defaults eg Ultraedit etc. I assume a lot of the guys would use 3rd party editors especially those who go across different languages

I think it is just a matter of task priority in all the things PB staff has to do.
Usually they always post updated keywords list in http://www.powerbasic.com/support/downloads/windows.htm

PB9 Keyword Reference

Hi Eros;


The PB9 Keyword Reference is located under Help Desk.
Open Help Desk, select PowerBASIC 9 for Windows, then click the Contents button. Click Keyword Reference, then click Keyword Quick Finder.

nice joke Walter.

I'm talking about a text file containing the list of all PB9 keywords.
Such a list is than used to create specific files need by programmers editors in order to understand language keywords and perform syntax highligh.

For example, the following is the Keyword List for PB/Win 8, PB/CC 4 and PB/Forms 1.5:

Not really a joke.
I saved the help page to a TXT file, filtered a bit the results, and got this list of reserved keywords.
If it can be of some help in the meantime...

Bye!

Thanks Marco.

It is not exactly the keywords list but the commands list. In a keywords list every keyword is listed only once. In your file there are many repetitions like "CONTROL", "GET", SET" ...

Also some keywords are not listed. For example all data types (LONG, QUAD, VARIANT, ...) because in the help file they are not listed under the same chapter

But yes, it is a good start.

Any update?

Eros,
Were you able to obtain the keyword file that you were looking for?

I'd like to add a PowerBasic syntax file for Notepad++

Thanks,
-John

Neither list seem complete

In a Short PB App try this...

The DDT ListView statement uses these

#COMPILE EXE
#DIM ALL

FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
     DIM MMDDYYYY AS LONG
     DIM DDMMYYYY AS LONG
     DIM YYYYMMDD AS LONG
     DIM YYYYMMDD AS LONG
     MMDDYYYY=1
     ? "X="+Str$(MMDDYYYY)
END FUNCTION
