| DEF SEG Statement Details |
|
| Syntax |
| DEF SEG [=address] |
| |
| For BLOAD, BSAVE, CALL ABSOLUTE, PEEK, and POKE, address is used as |
| the segment. The address is a numeric expression returning an unsigned |
| integer in the range 0-65,535. A value outside this range produces the |
| error message "Illegal function call." The previous segment is |
| retained if an error occurs. If you omit address, the BASIC data |
| segment is used. |
| |
| Be sure to separate DEF and SEG with a space. Otherwise, BASIC |
| interprets the statement to mean "assign a value to the variable |
| DEFSEG." |
| |
| Differences from BASICA |
| |
| In QuickBASIC, the CALL and CALLS statements do not use the segment |
| address set by DEF SEG. |
