The line

Code:

LOCAL X1,Y1|,X2,COL,LP1,LP2;

contains an unusual character

Code:

|

COL is also a predefined variable in the spreadsheet app.

But this are only speculations ...

Thanks Thomas, almost nothing before the above line beyond the usual EXPORT TEST() AND BEGIN.

My problem was solved by a full reset and format of C, just reset didn't do the trick. There are still many bugs in 7820 !. BACK UP YOUR PROGRAMS GUYS or you could end up in tears !!.

Full reset info below, gives access to a test menu too so beware !, I cannot be held responsible for any damage or lost data/programs !!.

Hold down F,C and O while pressing the rear reset button....

You will be given a menu. Press 4 (FLS Utility), and then press 3 (Format Disk C). This clears out the flash. Once finished, press ESC to back out into the main menu. From there press 9 (RESET) or you can alternatively press ON+SYMB

(For a warmstart - press ON+SYMB, you will not lose your programs but this alone will not fully reset the calculator)
