Significant length for variables and labels

[Bertrand BAROTH]

Hello ...

How many characters are significant in variable names and labels ? I wondered why I didn't get an error message when I used a label "Debut_manuel:" and a "GoTo Debut_man" (which in fact didn' exist).

Thanks for any answer.

This assembles ok. Does it work though? Seems you can goto a variable..calculated gotos, naughty.. but nice? Gosub works to.

1   #chip mega328p,16
2   #option explicit
3   dim label as byte:label=10
4   goto label ; could be gosub label
5   ;
6   ;
7   ;
8   ;
9   ;
10  goto 4 ; return... if gosub used

Seems that GCB is not "strict" enough, this is an open door for Murphy's law ! So I searched for all "Goto's" in my source text (8 among 500 lines) and verified that the labels were OK. Despite of the fact that in the eyes of some programmers such jumps are not "politically correct" they cannot be always avoided ...
