Compiling

Under special circumstances, you may need to build the compiled version of your program.

How to compile a program

To build a compiled version your program, complete the following steps:

  1. Save your program, if you haven't already. You can't build a compiled version of your program if your program doesn't have a file name and location.
  2. Choose Build from the File menu.
  3. In the submenu that appears, choose Compile for.

The name of the compiled module will be the name of your .BAS file, but without the .BAS suffix. For example, if you saved your program in the DOCUMENT directory with the name FUNKY.BAS, then your module will be created in the DOCUMENT directory and will have the name FUNKY.

If you access your compiled program directly through DOS, the file name of the module will be FUNKY.000.
