Article: Q62260

Version(s): 7.00
Operating System(s): MS-DOS

If you link the stub file TSCNIOxx.OBJ to your BASIC object module,
any attempt to change the visual or active page to any page other than
Page 0 generates the error "Feature Removed." The run-time routines
responsible for handling page switching are included in those run-time
routines stubbed out by TSCNIOxx.OBJ. This information applies to
Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) version 7.00 for
MS-DOS and MS OS/2.

The TSCNIOxx.OBJ stub file is used to remove all graphics support that
is automatically inserted in your program at link time so that you may
generate smaller EXE files.

For more information on this and other stub files, query on the
following words:

   smaller and stub and EXE

The sample code below reproduces the error "Feature Removed."

Compile and link as follows:

   BC scrntest.bas /o ;
   LINK scrntest + tscionr.obj,,,bcl70enr.lib /noe ;

Code Example
------------

   CLS
   PRINT "Switching pages"
   SLEEP
   SCREEN 0, , 1, 1        'This line will generate the Feature.
                           'Removed error because it tries to switch
                           'pages in Text mode.
