When you run the program below, a "Duplicate definition" occurs
because a variable and SUBprogram have the same name, not counting the
type of declaration suffix (i.e., !, #, $, &, or %).
You can work around this design limitation by changing the variable
name or the subprogram name.
This information applies to QuickBASIC Versions 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50,
and the BASIC compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b.
The following program demonstrates the "Duplicate Definition"
error:
' THIS IS THE MAIN PROGRAM:
DECLARE SUB abc ()
DEFINT A-Z
abc! = 2
CALL abc
SUB abc STATIC
PRINT "hello"
END SUB
