Compile error & syntax error on the word "loop:" as a label?

[jellis00]

I am getting a wierd compile error on my PICBASICPRO program in which I am using a loop on a label named "loop:". It also indicates a sytax error on the GOTO statement at the end of the loop. I don't understand why since the word loop is not a reserved word or a PICBASIC coding statement. Can anyone tell me why this would be happening. Here is the code excerpt where this is happening.

loop:
    I2CREAD PORTC.4,PORTC.3,$E0,0,[srfver]          ' Read version number from srf02
    SEROUT PORTC.1,2,[1,"Software v: ",#srfver,13]  ' Put it on the screen
    I2CWRITE PORTC.4,PORTC.3,$E0,0,[81]             ' Request start of ranging
    pause 100                                       ' Wait for ranging to finish
    I2CREAD PORTC.4,PORTC.3,$E0,2,[b1,b0]           ' Get the ranging results
    SEROUT PORTC.1,2,["Range: ",#w0,"   "]          ' Display range data to the screen
    PAUSE 100
GOTO loop

I have no problem here using "goto loop"

I believe that "Loop" is a reserved word in newer versions of PBP.

Use a different label....

You are right! I had checked all PBP statements in version 2.6 but didn't check Appendix C that lists reserved words....and there it was!

Thanks for catching this!

To find LOOP ...

Look at DO.
