Thanks, but it works fine if I add the menu to an extension file as per your example.

However, as I always have the extensions loaded, that's adding a large chunk of "duplicate" code so I am trying to create an _app file, with just the menus in.

Per,

Doing that allows it to show the menu in SBASIC. If I compile with it LRESPR'd and compile without the $$asmb directive, it runs okay as well.

However, linking in with $$asmb=filename,0,64 results in a message of "String is not numeric" (!!) on the line calling APPA0.

Hmm...still the same. 141 REMark $$asmb=WIN1_DEV_Qlibptr_app,0,64 165 REMark $$i 170 : 1000 chan3=3 : adr=APPA0('qlib1') 1010 OPEN#chan3;'con_' 1020 MDRAW#chan3,adr 1030 REPeat loop 1040 a=MCALL(#chan3) 1050 IF a=0 THEN EXIT loop 1060 END REPeat loop 1070 CLOSE#chan3 Still get an error when running....

Looks like it is at offset 64.

I am going to try a cut-down program to just display the menu screen and nothing else and work from there, using the $$asmb=name,0,64 directive, and see how it goes

Maybe it's an issue with QLiberator…

1400 REMark $$asmb=WIN1_DEV_QLIB_QLIBPTR_app,0,60
…
14591 a=APPA0("menu1")
14595 MDRAW#c%,a

When running the compiled program I get "Indices wrong" on line 14591

I am trying to add a menu to an "appendix" prior to compiling a program. Normally, I would add the menu to a copy of the ptrmen_cde file and add the $$asmb command. However, as I always have the EasyPTR extensions loaded I thought I would create an _app type file. Having never done this be...

If the intention is to release the sources, surely it can be left up to individuals to add such changes if they require them?

Why not use HEX command?

FLOAT$(<number>)

This function takes a floating point number and returns the
internal math representation of the number as a six character
string.

Ah, good old George 2! I think XEKA was the Cobol compiler. As for VME, I still use it and the screen editor after 37 years.
