Robert,

Under QBasic 'end' terminates the program.  Are you sure you didn't mean
'end if' there ?

* In one iteration of the program, that is what was intended..

(That all the files are closed could easily be part of PDS'es clean-up
activities before actually terminating)

in a section of the program, 6 statement lines got executed
in 1,3,5,2,4,6

As you have not posted the involved code and I (we) do not have any
kind of
mind-reading capabilities there is nothing I (we) can say about that.

   One would think that a more regimented, line-numbered
program would behave.

It certainly enables you to write goto-enabled spagetti code (as in:
unreadable/trackable code).   Why do you think most languages dropped the >> 'goto' and/or strongly advice you NOT to use it ?  :-)


Basic bug-hunting most often boils down to isolating the problem by
removing
everything that does /not/ make the problem disappear (and sometimes
replacing variable and/or human input by fixed stuff).   If you're lucky >> you're left with a single line. :-)

So there are two problems:
1) NO "debug" output from the git-go
FOR LWD = 1 TO 164 'LWD keyword file size
GOSUB READIKW '**NO "READIKW" PRINTOUT

2) Skips every other SJ keyword.

Comments?
Thanks.

Robert,

GOSUB READIKW '**NO "READIKW" PRINTOUT

Well duh! You commented that line out. :-)

2) Skips every other SJ keyword

Your main loop (for lwd = 1 to 164) contains *three* 'gosub readjs' calls.
My guess is that it goes wrong there. You might try to move the first one /above/ the 'for' loop.

Comments?

A few.

No indication of the used basic variant. That makes it hard to even do a syntax check on the code.

No (samples of) the datafiles, meaning that I (we) cannot run that code and spot where it goes wrong.

No attempt to simplify the code (using dummy datafiles or even static data) (making it easier to spot where it goes wrong)


"Writing programs is easy. Just let your cat walk over the keyboard a few times and you're done.
The hard part is to figure out what/where it goes wrong when it does
something else than you expected."

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
