My 71B is telling me "Data Error" whenever I try to use the variable "F" - any ideas?

Oh - I just got it I think. One of my other programs uses F for an array - but that should be separate. Aren't variables separated between different programs?

See if it still gives you the same error after doing DESTROY ALL. That frees all of the variable memory, and if you are running into a condition where an old variable definition is interfering with your current program then it should clear it up.

Thanks @[email protected]

I thought I remembered such a command, It's programmable too - so perhaps I will start all my (main) programs with that. I am guessing I would not want it in a chained program. I found I could do a DIM V. as well.
