RUN statement error?

[ekvirtanen]

Documention provided with RB and wiki tells next.

RUN programNameExpr$[, #handle] - Run the specified program synchronously and optionally assign it as an object to #handle

Next code works

cls
input "Press a button "; a$
a$ = ProjectsRoot$ + "/runRuntime_project/prg2.bas"
open  a$ for binary as #f
print #f, "for i = 1 to 10 : print i : next i"
close #f

run "prg2.bas", #loop
render #loop

a$ = "rm " + a$
print shell$(a$)
wait


However, if i take handler off and try to run it synchronously by changin the code as next


cls
input "Press a button "; a$
a$ = ProjectsRoot$ + "/runRuntime_project/prg2.bas"
open  a$ for binary as #f
print #f, "for i = 1 to 10 : print i : next i"
close #f

run "prg2.bas"

a$ = "rm " + a$
print shell$(a$)
wait


Result is

Runtime Error in program 'runRuntime': run "prg2.bas"
Message not understood: #identifier

I have always used the option to render the run program as an object, which does not fail.
I don't remember, if I ever used to run another BAS synchronously.

The following additions will allow to run it on Windows too.

cls
Button #cont, "Push the button", [letsGo]
print
print
wait

[letsGo]
if Platform$ = "win32" then
    a$ = ProjectsRoot$ + "\runRuntime_project\prg2.bas"
else
    a$ = ProjectsRoot$ + "/runRuntime_project/prg2.bas"
end if

open a$ for binary as #f
    print #f, "for i = 1 to 10 : print i : next i : print"
close #f

run a$ ', #test
'render #test

if Platform$ = "win32" then
    del$ = "del /f /q "; chr$(34); a$; chr$(34)
else
    del$ = "rm " + a$
end if

print shell$(del$)
wait

Yep, it is a bug at linux version. I can survive with reder statement though, but would be good to get fixed in future releases.
