 Re: Problem with DATA (the BASIC command, not the StarTrek character!) :)

Do not use capitals in lowercase mode. The uppercase letters will be tokenized as keywords, causing the READ statement to error.

If you do not use capitals, you do not need quotes unless a delimiter is intended to be in the data statements. Delimeters are comma, semicolon, colon, and the Enter key (CHR$(13)).

10 DATA "Robert Allen", "James C" <-- Allowed
10 DATA Robert Allen, James C <-- Not Allowed
20 DATA ROBERT ALLEN, JAMES C <-- Allowed
20 DATA "ROBERT ALLEN, USA" , "JAMES C, USA" <--Allowed, 2 strings read
20 DATA ROBERT ALLEN, USA, JAMES C, USA <-- Allowed, 4 strings read
