Another PB9 undocumented keyword? NUMERIC

[Nathan Maddox]

Anyone have this bomb too?

#COMPILE EXE
#DIM ALL

FUNCTION Is_Numeric(BYVAL A$) AS LONG
    LOCAL NUMERIC AS LONG
    NUMERIC=IIF(VERIFY(A$,"01234567890")>0,0,-1)
    FUNCTION=NUMERIC
END FUNCTION

FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
        ? "IS 123 a numeric ?==>"+Str$(Is_Numeric("123")) 'Should return -1
END FUNCTION

See LISTVIEW SORT, again. It's easy to find these keywords by using "Search" tab in the help system.

Works as expected here, Nathan. Doesn't bomb. PBWin 8.04 XPPro sp3

"Bomb?"

"BOMB?"

Please clarify:

1. Won't compile. Show compiler version, relevant source code lines and error message.
2. Program compiles and runs but does not produce expected output? Post compilable code with input and output (expected and actual) along with compiler version.
3. Program fails with General Protection Fault? Follow instructions for #2 and add Windows /OS version in service.

NUMERIC is a reserved word in PB 9 but is not listed as such in an updated reserved word list for PB 9. I couldn't find such a list, but I suspect that one will surface as soon as the busy people find the time. As pointed out in another post it does show up in the LISTVIEW. (PB 9)

It should compile okay in 8.04.

BTW, it's OK to use the word "bomb." Just don't use the words "infidel" and "martyr" in the same post unless you want Homeland Security all over your case.

Key Words

Using PBWin 9.0 editor it shows NUMERIC as a key word.
Using SED 1.16 editor it shows NUMERIC is not a key word.

Are key words built into PBWin 9.0 edtor ?
If not built in, where are they ?
Does anyone know how to add key words to SED 1.16 ?

Thanks

Thank You!

Thanks Kevin and all for comments.
Within PB Help | Dynamic Help | Index | Numeric didn't give a
definitive definition of it's use, but is easy to work around.

Thanks for all comments.
