Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

This error occurs when the same variable is used as the
counter argument in one FOR...NEXT statement and in a
nested FOR...NEXT statement inside that loop.  Nested
FOR...NEXT statements must use diffrent variables for
their counter arguments.
